actually it is the business of air traffic control to make sure that a plane of any kind on an IFR clearance is complying with the clearance.
the 747 was cleared for an approach to the air force base
and
the plane didn't comply with that clearance.
not only a moral imperative but a technical one too.
and remember boys and girls, a military airfield in the USA has a beacon which flashes two whites and a green, not just green whitegreen white.
