...flight out, Columbine Pilot Lieut. Colonel William Thomas learned that the Kansas City Municipal Airport was fogged in, instead put down at the Naval Air Station in Olathe, Kans.

On the way a motorcycle escort kicked up such noise that an unidentified excitable citizen called a radio station, which soon broadcast that Nebraska Teen-Age Murderer Charles Starkweather (see Crime) was hightailing through town ahead of the cops...
