Updated

A Swedish pilot was arrested in the cockpit of a packed passenger jet earlier this week, after authorities discovered he had been flying for years with a fake license.

A Corendon Airlines plane was moments away from departing Amsterdam Tuesday night on a flight bound for Ankara, Turkey, when Dutch police boarded the jet and arrested the pilot. At the time of the incident, 101 passengers were on board.
