College Student From China Charged with Illegally Taking Photos of US Military Planes
FBI said Tianrui Liang admitted photographing an RC-135 and an E-4B, and investigators withheld details while probing a co-conspirator.
Tianrui Liang, a 21-year-old Chinese aeronautical engineering student at the University of Glasgow, was arrested in the US for taking unauthorized photos of military aircraft, including the Boeing E-4B doomsday plane, at Offutt Air Force Base.
Liang traveled from Canada into the US, visiting Ellsworth and Offutt Air Force Bases to photograph aircraft and admitted knowing that such photography was illegal but said the pictures were for personal use.
