With his 22 ways? There are redundancies built into modern aircraft but they are not foolproof. One could damage electrical equipment, supply systems, fuel systems, or actually damage flight controls from the cockpit all the way to wingtip, rudder, and elevator. The autopilot system could be hacked, the gps signal could be hacked, the aircraft flight software could be hacked.

Change your thinking about modern aircraft, we ain’t in Kansas anymore. A modern airliner is a flying computer with wings and an engine attached. The new Airbus if flown from and to a properly equipped airfield can be programmed and can taxi itself to takeoff from the boarding gate, takeoff, fly enroute ( all altitudes, courses, and speeds entered into the computer) and auto land itself, taxi to the terminal and park all without human intervention.

This technology only costs $$ and the DS does have $$$ to spare!

Is it Friday or Saturday night that’s for fighting? (Bay city Rollers? Anyone?)

Bay City Rollers had the song Saturday night (S A T U R D A Y NIGHT!)

Saturday Night's Allright For Fighting was Elton John
