Excellent on-the-ground report!

I'm thinking those hand-held missiles, whatever they're called. Too close for comfort to airplanes.

Anybody know if a mobile ground-to-air missile launcher (like would be mounted on the back of a truck - not a shoulder fired type) normally has a separate metal box associated with it (like the drivers of those semis were supposedly hand carrying wherever they went)? Awfully convenient if you just park your semi at a rest area under the flight path, pull the tarp off the trailer and use your metal box remote control unit to let the missiles fly.

RE: Shoulder missiles

I am just under the 3 mi final approach for DFW 36L and 36R. Lots of woods and open area around here. I am VERY vigilant. There is a large industrial park across the hwy and so lots of trucks from semis to others..if I see one parked or see any parked vehicles in the fields around here, I always call the police. Now what THEY do about it is another story. I wouldn't doubt it if jihadis are living in the apartments around here...perfect shot from the balcony. Pretty scary....

SAMS, they have always threatened to use them near airports
