MILESTONES, Page 101
DETAINED. Mathias Rust, 21, who made international headlines
as a teenage pilot in May 1987 when he flew a Cessna 172 over 500
miles of Soviet territory to land at Moscow's Red Square; for an
alleged assault on a student nurse; in Hamburg. According to police
reports, Rust stabbed the nurse after she resisted his advances.
He told interviewers this year that he chose civilian over military
service because he was opposed to violence.
