Fighters escort hijacked plane
US warplanes escorted a Cuban airliner to a Florida airport after it was taken over by six hijackers.
The DC-3 with 29 passengers and six crew on board landed in Key West International Airport where the hijackers surrendered to authorities and all the passengers were released.
The FAA said the plane was spotted in American airspace just before 2000 local time on Wednesday (0100 GMT Thursday).
Air traffic controllers at Miami International Airport spotted the plane on radar about 15 minutes before it landed and were unable to make voice contact, Federal Aviation Authority spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
