Border Patrol agents in the Tucson Sector arrested the pilot of an ultralight aircraft after he used it to illegally fly across the border from Mexico. A CBP Air and Marine Operations aircrew assisted in the tracking of the aircraft.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection border surveillance equipment operators detected an unknown aircraft approaching the U.S.-Mexico border. The operators dispatched an Air and Marine Operations aircrew to search for the ultralight aircraft (ULA) ad follow it to a landing point, according to information provided by Tucson Sector CBP officials.
The aircrew coordinated with U.S. Border Patrol agents from the Tucson Sector who followed the ULA’s path from the ground. The aircrew and Border Patrol agents followed the aircraft for nearly an hour before it finally made an “improvised landing†along a highway near Kino Springs, Arizona. Border Patrol agents moved in and found the damaged aircraft. The pilot apparently abandoned the ULA.
