Another drama that happened here in the days of the F27s was the attempted "hijack" that occured on an inbound F27. The hijacker demanded that a light aircraft meet the F27 on arrival, and bring a parachute for him.
Ossie Watt was the CFI at the aero club. He duly brought a Cessna to meet the F27. He also had a "navigator" who was a policeman.
The hijacker came out with a very unhappy flight attendant. He was shot and killed on the tarmac.
