According to news reports, a passenger aircraft from Highland Airways with 11 souls on board, en route to Benbecua, was warned by an American frigate, (part of an ongoing NATO excercise in the area) to change course immediatly, as it was entering a restricted area, near the ship.
The response from the aircraft's captain went un-answered, so with the Vincennes incident firmly in mind, he had little option but to comply.
An investigation is underway.
Earlier in the day a sister ship lobbed a shell 8 miles off course landing in a bay, one mile from a highland settlement.
