Hussein Escapes Nasser's Jets. On a flight to a European vacation, King Hussein's personal airplane is attacked by six Soviet-built Migs of the Syrian Air Force, but he escapes back to Jordan and to safety. A melodramatic episode that shatters the apparent truce between Hussein and Nasser. Motorcade with lots of motorcycles in front of black car. Man (King Hussein?) exits car, shakes hands with men in military uniform. Hussein (?) smiling from front window/ windshield of small airplane.
