Swiss Fighters Deploy to Intercept Rogue Aircraft, Laufen, Swtizerland

Local Swiss media (Nau) reported this morning that two Swiss F/A-18 fighters scrambled to intercept a private jet over Laufen, Basel-Country, Switzerland. The plane lost contact with air traffic control, prompting the fighters to be reassigned from a training mission. The F/A-18s made visual confirmation on the jet and hailed it on emergency frequencies, at which point the jets deemed the aircraft not to be a threat and ended the escort.
