An American Eagle pilot who reeked of booze was yanked off a flight from Minneapolis to La Guardia Airport yesterday and arrested after failing a Breathalyzer test, authorities said.
The pilot, Kolbjorn Jarle Kristiansen, of Raleigh, NC, was charged with suspicion of flying under the influence.
In other aviation mayhem:
* An allegedly drunken woman headed from Newark to Stockholm, Sweden, became belligerent inside a plane and took a swing at a member of the flight crew yesterday morning, sources said.
Federal air marshals arrested Sarah Melena Wilson, 37 — who claims to be the daughter of a diplomat — and charged her with interfering with a flight crew and assaulting a federal officer, a source said.
* A 13-year-old boy was led off a plane at La Guardia Airport on Thursday night after he flashed another passenger. He will not be prosecuted, a source said.
* Also on Thursday, cops at Kennedy Airport had to escort a woman who was off her meds from a bathroom after she started causing a scene inside Terminal 1, a source said.
