A US Airways passenger who stripped naked on a flight from North Carolina to Los Angeles caused a diversion in more than one way.

The flight had to be diverted to Albuquerque on Tuesday night.

The 50-year-old man was restrained by two off-duty law enforcement officers, who happened to be onboard.

He was taken into custody by airport police, who called the FBI. The FBI may decide to transport him to an FBI facility. He will likely be taken to a local detention center in the meantime.

The plane continued on to Los Angeles after the incident.

He should have to pay for the costs of the diversion-- next time he wants to expose himself, he will use a street corner.

Yuck.

Instead of a Girl Gone Wild, it’s a 50 year old guy gone funny in the head.

Passengers intending to undress during a flight is probably outside of the scope of BDO training. Butt ugly is not a threat to aviation.

Perhaps....he was "warming up" for the future "TSA comrade gestapo" run country in aviation where we will have to fly naked

1. Did he disrobe there or in the lav & walk back to his seat nekkid?

2. How'd they manage to find 3 empty seats for nekkid old guy to stretch out on?? When was the last time a plane went up w/even 1 empty seat?

Doesn't look like they did a very good job with the zip ties.

And some worry about putting bare feet on the bulkhead wall.

He's zip tied and naked and by himself.
Why go to the costs of a diversion ?
How does saving 1.5hrs to get him off the plane help ?

Man I hope he's not married, or has kids.

In class is NOT the place to read this sentence.

Luckily, I had to cough.
