An anti-hijacking exercise conducted by the 60th Air

description

Summary

An anti-hijacking exercise conducted by the 60th Air Mobility Wing and other outside agencies played out at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., June 23, 2015. A C-17 Globemaster played the role of the hijacked aircraft where a crew member took control trying to get to the Philippines to join the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIS). The aircraft was intercepted and turned back to Travis Air Force Base by two Western Air Defense Air National Guard F-15 Eagles out of Fresno, Calif., and forced to land. After a brief negotiation process, members of the 60 Security Forces Squadron stormed the plane, neutralized the hijacker and secured the release of the "hostages."
