Will these errant civilian planes be shot down if they don't comply?
How about if they're over populated areas?
You’d think a flock of small drones bearing plastic explosive would be much more effective as a terror weapon against an open stadium full of people.
This let's me watch the 15s light burners and climb out. The ground shakes. Very impressive.
FYI darling!
My question is - is the NFL paying the US Government for F-15 patrols to keep their events safe?
After all, the NFL is a protected monopoly, and they can afford to pay their commissioner $45 million per year.
not something taxpayers should be paying for.
I wonder when the first supersonic drone for consumer use will hit the market.
An A-10 is slow enough to track with a Cessna, and has a couple of tools to eliminate the threat if necessary.
I was at a GWB rally in 2004 and a small plane entered the airspace around the stadium. It was intercepted by a fighter plane but it was much too late. If the pilot had had bad intentions he could have fired a missile at the podium or something. The small plane was escorted away and the pilot lost his license for a while.
Active Duty ping.
