To update the strange story of the stolen Cessna that flew into U.S. airspace from Canada yesterday afternoon and wandered over the Midwest, trailed by U.S. fighters, until it landed in the Missouri Ozarks last night and the pilot fled on foot: The pilot was apprehended not long after he landed by local law enforcement in a convenience store, drinking a Gatorade, and according to ABC News, is a Turkish man with Canadian citizenship who has a history of mental health issues and was hoping the fighters would shoot him down.
