    This a fuzzy breaking story, the U.S. denies any aircraft were involved in any kind of an incident:

    I've seen several stories relating to a "falcon" jet with 5 passengers and 3 crew . Of course the f-16( "fighting falcon" is a single place aircraft).Google images comes up with a Dassault business jet called the"falcon" We indeed have "business" jets for the "sam's" ( special air mission squadron) to shuttle dignitaries around) believe itwas called the "c-10"( but can't confirm that through google)...hmmm guess it was the "c-20": http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=87http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=87

    Really fuzzy... it was a small passenger jet from a Hungarian Aid organization.
