Ссылка про Learjet помогает ответить на некоторые вопросы

Обратите внимание на дату:
Pentagon never considered downing Stewart's Learjet
President would have to make decision
October 26, 1999
But even if an unguided plane were on a collision course with the center of a major city, military planes could not take aim and pull the trigger unless they received permission from the White House because only the president has the authority to order a civilian aircraft shot down.....The instructions, dated July 31, 1997, make no explicit reference to shooting down manned aircraft but say that destroying other airborne objects such as unmanned balloons or "unmanned non-nuclear rockets or missiles" would require prior approval from the secretary of defense.
Bacon [Pentagon spokesman] said the Pentagon has no written instructions for shooting down manned civilian planes.
