Ah yes, the interdasting rest of the story:

2 months later a couple F15's pursue a plane "apparently" hijacked from SeaTac which vanishes into a ball of fire on Ketron Island ...

Cast of players:

- hijacked plane: Q400

- lone wolf hijacker: Richard B Russell

- pilot aerobatics: "barrel roll w a twist" = "Q" .. as breathlessly reported by all media

- the rogue sub: USS Richard B Russell, SSN 687 Sturgeon Class Nuke, decommissioned 1994, then lost(???)

- F15's: unmarked F15's abruptly appeared & ordered the National Guard chase planes to go home
