Of all the dumb luck....and I was 7 Months pregnant and thought I was going to have my son right then and there. LOLHave you ever been on a plane and the pilot says "Folks don't be alarmed. We are being escorted by two Russian Migs back to Alaska."2015-09-27T23:28:56-04:00Sgt Kelli Mays998788<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><br />In 1992 My mom and I were on a Northwestern Airline...don't remember the size...it was a double decker....<br /><br />We changed planes in San Fransisco and were headed to Tokyo.<br /><br />Don't know how long we were in the air when the Pilot came on and said..."folks, don't worry....we seemed to have gotten a little lost, but these nice Russian Migs are escorting us back to Alaska.<br /><br />Later, while stuck on the ground in Juneau for 6 hours....I found out that this plane had three navigational systems and ALL THREE OF THEM went out.

I would think the pilot shouldn't tell the passengers, but then again someone's going to look out the window and see the fighters!Response by LCDR Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 27 at 2015 11:36 PM2015-09-27T23:36:07-04:002015-09-27T23:36:07-04:00SSgt Alex Robinson998805<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>wild story...Response by SSgt Alex Robinson made Sep 27 at 2015 11:37 PM2015-09-27T23:37:44-04:002015-09-27T23:37:44-04:00SN Greg Wright998814<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="742174" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/742174-sgt-kelli-mays">Sgt Kelli Mays</a> Not that, no.

Remember tracking one from take-off at Vladivostok watching it go over Shemya (Alaska) then over us in Adak and starting to wonder when in the Hell the Air Force was going to get around to chasing it out of US Air. They waited until it was Damn near to Anchorage.Response by PO1 William "Chip" Nagel made Sep 28 at 2015 12:36 AM2015-09-28T00:36:54-04:002015-09-28T00:36:54-04:00MCPO Roger Collins999377<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>While somewhat intimidating, to the casual observer, it would appear as if they did you a favor by escorting you to a safe location. I would have expected more information from the Pilot as to what was going on. Remember Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Amazing that all three nav systems went out.Response by MCPO Roger Collins made Sep 28 at 2015 9:59 AM2015-09-28T09:59:45-04:002015-09-28T09:59:45-04:00TSgt Private RallyPoint Member999984<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Nope...nopenopenopeResponse by TSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 28 at 2015 2:06 PM2015-09-28T14:06:32-04:002015-09-28T14:06:32-04:002015-09-27T23:28:56-04:00
