Reports today that commercial aviation is in dire danger of being
grounded as freedom fighters deploy even a small fraction of the
(estimated) 750,000 shoulder-fired missiles to down commercial
airliners.
(Having sat on Pacific Coast Highway below the takeoff path of LAX
jumbo jets, I can attest to the fact that they are literally just a few
hundred feet above. Any van with a moonroof could trivially be set up
to allow a pop shot at one of these 747s or 767s, leaving every couple
of minutes.)
The U.S. and U.S.S.R. were handing these SFMs to any freedom fighter
group that would temporarily swear allegiance to the CIA or KGB.
Now the chickens are coming home to roost.
I stopped flying in 2000.
