Austria approved a DC-10 overflight on October 18, 2002, processing what appeared to be routine civilian aviation paperwork until air traffic controllers noticed the aircraft's serial number matched a military tanker and the registration had changed twice—discrepancies that triggered immediate suspicion about the flight's actual nature and purpose. Over the Tyrol region, Austria scrambled two Saab 35 Draken fighters to intercept and identify the suspicious aircraft, discovering that the supposed civilian DC-10 was actually a KC-10 military tanker with two F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighters tucked beneath its wings in an unauthorized transit through Austrian airspace. Austria filed a formal diplomatic protest on October 24 backed by photographic proof captured by the Draken pilots, who had documented the violation with imagery showing American stealth fighters being transported through neutral airspace without proper authorization or diplomatic clearance. The incident exposed American military aviation's casual approach to airspace sovereignty when operational convenience conflicted with international protocol, revealing that the US Air Force apparently believed that disguising military tankers as civilian aircraft and sneaking stealth fighters through European airspace constituted acceptable practice when the alternative meant longer routing or diplomatic negotiation. Austria's interception demonstrated that even small neutral nations could enforce their airspace sovereignty when they maintained credible fighter capabilities and weren't intimidated by American military power, proving that the F-117's vaunted stealth characteristics offered no protection against visual identification by interceptors scrambled to investigate suspicious flight plans—and establishing that American assumptions about uncontested access to allied and neutral airspace could be challenged even by nations with modest air forces when the US attempted end-runs around proper diplomatic channels, transforming what should have been a routine ferry flight into an international incident that confirmed European suspicions about American disregard for sovereignty when military expediency suggested shortcuts through other nations' airspace without bothering to ask permission first.
