So does this mean that Dr Evil wasn't real?
Oh HE IS real alright. But Mini Me was just thrown in for entertainment value.

My Dad was on alert duty in the Air Force in the early sixties through the late sixties and he finds it next to impossible that not one single airplane was even "looked at" by a fighter. I believe in his wisdom and first hand experience. Sounds like you believe everything the government has put forward without doing any of your own research. Cheers.
Just to beat up on you a little more (because you had it coming), check out the last paragraph of this article. This is in reference to NWA 188 when the pilots failed to check in with ATC and flew for an hour with making contact. Astonishing that even in 2009, the ATC / NORAD connection is still broken. So, if your daddy was right, where were the fighters on this day?

Pilots of Runaway Jet Grounded - WSJ.com

"After the incident, regulators and lawmakers moved to bar U.S. airline pilots from turning on personal laptops, cell phones or any other electronic devices while taxiing aircraft on the ground or flying them in commercial service. The incident also exposed weaknesses in the government's system of promptly alerting the military about suspicious or potentially dangerous aircraft."
