Lockout, John Nance

Pangia airways flight ten just developed a mind of its own. Something or someone has turned the aircraft around and is flying it back towards Tel Aviv. No one on the ground can contact the flight. Have they been hijacked? Has one of the pilots gone rogue? Is there a more sinister explanation?

With the Situation Room at the White House and the 'The Hole', in Israel both on full alert, it emerges that one of the passengers is the hawkish former Israeli Prime Minister, Moishe Lavi, a master strategist whose policies on dealing with Iran's nuclear capabilities got him bounced out of office. If the plane keeps its present heading it will enter Iranian airspace without permission.

Is this Lavi's attempt to go down in the history or could this be a plot to start a war by proxy coming from one of the alphabet soup of agencies surrounding the US President. With tensions mounting on the ground and in the cockpit, time and fuel are running out.

I can't say that this is a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller because this scenario hasn't happened.

Yet.
