I could not agree more with ya. IMHO in any scenario like that , (well prior to the cockpit door being breached) I dont know about you , but I would be heading for the deck pointing at the nearest suitable airfield and squawking the aprop code. Executing some good 2g to 3g hardbanks doing VMO on the way down would do alot to keep absolutly everybody flat on their respective asses.
Have you ever watch that video of a Boeing 707 doing a roll?
It is amazing how much a pilot can do in a deadly situation, if he is willing to take responsibility for his actions.
How any citizen could simply sit back and be murdered today, without taking some action, is beyond my comprehension. It would never happen on any flight that I was on!
I would even use a dead body (even my own wife's if requried) as a shield, in an effort to kill that terrorist.
Lets Roll!
