But... here's the thing. We only pull our guns out of the holster if we intend to shoot to kill. And that only happens when someone is attempting to take the plane. So... with that said, hopefully that shot will be directed back...in the entrance of the doorway... not through the skin of the plane. I don't want to be graphic, but do you have an image?

My thoughts on the FFDO are generally positive, I think the intention of the program is good. However, if a pilot fire his/her gun, midair, wouldn't that be problematic for the aircraft? I mean, a bullet hole is the last thing I would want in a pressurized canister, flying 0.8 mach, some 30-thousand feet.<br /><br />I'll add, I think the checklist provided here are very good guidelines for how to transport fire arms.Ceciliehttp://www.cecilielarsen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-20943584724363761352012-07-05T08:49:57.372-07:002012-07-05T08:49:57.372-07:00Hi K...slow day on the road?

Mich U, stop by at the "Air Zoo" at KAZO (take the grand kids-it is part museum, part amusement park based on flight). It was started by Sue Parrish-a WW2 WASP Pilot and amazing pilot in a pink P40 and widebrim flowered straw ramp hat(think Bob Hoover in a pink flightsuit and great smile)-a class act.<br /><br />Well, half a cup of joe and a brownie-love breakfast at home.<br /><br />Tim 8DME_W_ORDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
