Experimental civilian plane crashes at Virginia military base

In Khartoum , a South African Inspector inspecting South African-registered aircraft noticed a Gulfstream II aircraft not under his jurisdiction, and after he boarded, damaged the door when trying to close it.

The vehicle that sustained damage was Thabo Mbeki’s charter plane. Mbeki is a South African politician who served two terms as president of South Africa. The incident is under investigation and while the inspector is awash in paperwork due to the expense of the damage, but the rumors of his arrest are an exaggeration, as he was just doing his job.
