Viewers will see this month the first American television interview with Mathias Rust, the West German who flew a single-engine plane into Moscow’s Red Square in May 1987, on ABC’s new fall series “Incredible Sunday.” The interview, which will done via satellite from West Germany and will air Oct. 16, will focus on Rust’s flight, why he attempted it and how he achieved it. Rust was sentenced to four years in a Soviet prison for his flight, but was released in August, after serving 15 months. The interview airs on the second episode of the Sunday show, co-hosted by John Davidson and Cristina Ferrare.
