If for only a moment, Gov. Ernie Fletcher's arrival in Washington, D.C., yesterday upstaged the ceremony for President Reagan.

A Kentucky State Police airplane carrying Fletcher triggered an evacuation of the Capitol about 4:15 p.m. after a piece of equipment failed, making the aircraft electronically unidentifiable to air traffic controllers, officials said.

Once controllers established radio contact with the plane, the alarm was called off — but not before two airborne F-15 fighter jets were diverted to intercept Fletcher.

"It's embarrassing. It also could be a lot worse," Fletcher's communications director, Doug Hogan, said in Frankfort last evening. "The plane landed safely."

The incident created panic at the Capitol, where thousands of dignitaries and citizens were ordered to evacuate.

Who was the last person you put into a headlock? I read you’re fond of putting people into headlocks.
It might have been today at a house party. Somebody I knew.

Is it always people you know?
Not necessarily. I don’t do it all the time. I believe in being genuine in campaigning. If there’s somebody I know and I want to kid and connect with ... I put them in a headlock. [Laughs.] I wouldn’t do that to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. It’s a way of campaigning. I’m a physical campaigner. I hold the world’s handshaking record. I don’t take myself seriously. I think you have to be genuine. I have always done that.
