Business jet lands at RAF Fairford after wrong-airport approach
A German-registered Cessna Citation XLS+ bound for another airfield landed at the US Air Force's RAF Fairford on September 12, prompting a security response.
A private business jet landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire on September 12 after apparently lining up for the wrong airport, according to aviation reporting. The arrival triggered a security response at the base, the US Air Force's principal bomber station in the United Kingdom.
The aircraft, a German-registered Cessna Citation XLS+, had left London City Airport earlier that morning. It was bound for another airfield a few miles east of Fairford.
