Was he blown off radar???? Report: Clinton's plane disappears off radar for 24 seconds 12.51 a.m. ET (551 GMT) March 11, 1998 NEW YORK (AP) - The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating an allegation that a long-range radar system monitoring air traffic over the region went down for several seconds Tuesday. The FAA statement followed a broadcast report alleging that Air Force One disappeared from radar screens for 24 seconds Tuesday as President Clinton traveled to Connecticut. WNBC-TV said controllers never lost radio contact with the plane as it flew 10 miles southeast of Kennedy International Airport Arlene Salac, an FAA spokeswoman, would not comment except to say, "We are doing an investigation of this. I can confirm that we are looking into allegations from a controller that there were problems with the radar data.'' Mark DiPalmo, of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, told WNBC that the president's plane disappeared from radar screens at 8:38 a.m. at the FAA regional control center on New York's Long Island. The plane was flying at an altitude of 21,000 feet. "There were no other planes in the vicinity. The president was not in any jeopardy,'' DiPalmo told the television station. DiPalmo told WNBC that the long-range radar system at the center has a history of going off-line, with planes frequently disappearing from screens. Hmmmm; sounds Lewinsky-ish
