BANGOR, Maine — A former Air Force member who was detained Tuesday on a transatlantic flight after allegedly claiming he had explosives in his luggage and a fake passport lives a “squeaky clean” life and has never been in trouble before, his father said.
Richard Stansberry said federal officials told him the man detained after the Paris-to-Atlanta flight was diverted to Maine was his 26-year- old son, Derek, of Riverview, Fla. He said his son served four years in the Air Force before leaving last year for a job in the private sector.
There were 235 passengers and 13 crew aboard Delta Air Lines Flight 273. The plane landed safely just after 3:30 p.m. at Bangor International Airport.
