THIS is the moment a foul-mouthed passenger was duct-taped to her seat after allegedly attacking crew mid-air on a flight to Las Vegas.
Shocking footage shows mum-of-two Ketty Dilone pacing the aisle and screaming obscenities as flight attendants desperately try to calm her.

The September 16 chaos unfolded onboard American Airlines flight 2470 from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, to Sin City.
Witnesses say Ketty ignored repeated demands to sit down before unleashing a tirade.
She screamed: “Try to, b***. Try to put me on some f****** psych medicine, b****.
“I deserve a drink, ’cause I’m a nice person. I’m a Dominican queen! I’m a queen!”
The drama escalated when she allegedly lashed out, forcing crew to strap her down with duct tape.
Her hands were bound with plastic cuffs — and after she allegedly kicked a flight attendant to the floor — her legs were taped too.
Other passengers stepped in, volunteering to sit beside her until touchdown at Harry Reid International Airport.
But the nightmare didn’t end there.
Las Vegas cops boarded the Airbus A320, slapped a spit hood over her head, and hauled her off the plane.
According to the US Attorney’s Office in Nevada: “Dilone is charged with one count of interference with a flight crew and one count of assault by striking, beating, or wounding.”
She faces up to 20 years behind bars if convicted.
A preliminary hearing has been set for October 1 before Magistrate Judge Elayna J. Youchah.
It comes after one furious traveller recently revealed how his pricey
The man, flying with his sister and niece, said they each forked out £26 for premium seats only to have a dad and his two kids take over the space.
He raged on Facebook: “This seemed worth it for a 4-hour flight… until a dad and his two kids decided that the emergency door window right next to us was the most fascinating thing they’d ever seen.”
Despite asking staff to intervene, the family allegedly stood there almost the entire flight, leaning over, chatting, and blocking the space.
The fed-up flyer added: “Sometimes I wish Europe was as strict as the US with the no fly lists.”

The rant struck a chord online, racking up hundreds of comments.
One person wrote: “Children should not be loitering by an emergency exit.”
Another fumed: “I paid £400 for extra legroom in two seats from Manchester to New York only to find the space was going to be the holding queue for the toilets.”
And in another terrifying incident, two Ryanair flight attendants were badly hurt when and smashed another with a service trolley.
The plane, carrying 180 passengers, was descending into Palma, Mallorca, when the storm struck.
Crew members were performing safety checks when the aircraft lurched violently, sparking panic.
Emergency services rushed to the runway to treat the injured staff after the “flight from hell.”
Ryanair has yet to comment, while shaken passengers said the chaos hit “without warning” as storms battered Spain.
