Cheney’s Plane Moves to Avoid Second Craft

Air Force Two, the military plane carrying Vice President Dick Cheney, was forced to make an evasive maneuver to avoid another aircraft in the skies over Bridgeport earlier this month, federal officials said.

The two planes came within about 700 feet vertically, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
