What’s wrong with this picture?

A small propeller airplane stenciled with the words “Iraqi Air Force” caused some commotion when it landed on a road near the rural Highlands County community of Sebring.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the Cessna C-172 had mechanical problems before landing on a rural road north of Lake Okeechobee yesterday evening.

Local sheriff’s deputies surrounded the aircraft and stopped journalists from photographing it. The plane’s markings were covered.

Turns out there was no need to panic - it was only a training aircraft built for the Iraqi military being taken from the Tampa area to Miami for shipment.

Air Force officials say the four’seater was part of a contract awarded to Cessna Aircraft Company for 18 aircraft for Iraq.

The aircraft are shipped from Miami to Iraq aboard Air Force transport planes.

The FAA is investigating.
