CroatiaA 24-year-old man stole a small private airplane from a Hungarian airfield in Kalocsa early yesterday morning without permission, flew toward the Paks nuclear power plant, and forced landed in a sunflower field after just four minutes. The Hungarian military launched two fighter jets, Gripen, to intercept the unauthorized flight. The man, identified as a local from Szomor, illegally entered the private airfield, climbed into a Cessna 172, and took off without using the runway, cutting the mooring lines. The plane entered restricted airspace around the nuclear plant before crashing in a sunflower field. He suffered minor injuries and was arrested after being caught by police who arrived shortly after. The owner of the Cessna had just returned to his aircraft when he noticed it taking off. Police are investigating whether the man had prior knowledge of flying and if he consumed alcohol or other substances. A security review has been initiated at the airfield, and similar checks are planned at other Hungarian airports.
