Zinger 0 #1 March 6, 2003 Small cargo planes loosely guarded on private airports. don't need a degree in "Terrorist 101" to see how simple/easy it would be to steal a jump plane and do a variety of terror acts. What if some advanced terrorist stole a Suzuki Samurai (very small SUV) and put a farm chemical crop sprayer/tank in the back and drove it to the D.Z. some night, shoot the few people at the D.Z, drive the Samurai right in the back of a Casa and fly over a city spraying some WMD all over the place? Sound too complicated and far fetched? Maybe it is? How about stealing a 182 and dropping pin ball balls or steel ball bearings out the window over a highly populated area around 3 thousand feet above?? Simple and deadly. My point you ask? Whatever you think about this up coming war so be it, BUT KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND STAY AWARE of your surroundings and people around you. Did you know that most of us carry with us everyday the very most dangerous weapon to a terrorist? A cel phone. Nothing can ruin a secret plan faster than a phone call. Maybe you think I'm crazy, maybe you don't, I don't care. But being that most of us spend ALOT of time at and around airports of different sizes all over the world there is a chance that some of us may be around something terrible like I'm talking about. And all you have to do in order to be a mega hero to the world is stay calm and make the phone call. Hang alot at your home D.Z? Then you should have the local police on speed dial. You should have that entered in your phone anyway. I'm not telling anyone to be paranoid of anyone, just keep aware of the possibility. Hear gun shots or yelling or any unusual disturbance go take a look just take your phone. See anything unordinary? Ask someone you know about it. Hear your plane take off at an unusual time of day/night/way? Go ask about it. Remember details, Time, Type plane, TAIL NUMBER and the direction it went if already gone, along with description of how many people and how they looked/acted what they drove to the airport. All and any detail could be of great importance. Stay aware and calm and you may save lives including your own. Being a hero would be cool too. ------Have a good one!-------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 March 6, 2003 A Samuari won't fit in a Casa We've tried a PT Cruiser and its too large even. A Skyvan it might. Perris, Eloy, Deland... you better look out Flying a twin enigine plane is way more complicated then something your average whuffo could do. I can't even figure out how to start a turbine yet and I've been hanging at DZ's for 2 years. Its a hell of a lot easier to use a crop duster, they actually have sprayers attached to them that can deal with the speeds the planes fly at. Using sometihng like a Casa, Otter or even 182 means a home made sprayer and thats just pitiful at best.

Zinger 0 #8 March 6, 2003 ***A Samuari won't fit in a Casa Quote You are wrong, A Samuari will fit in the back of a Casa, I have seen it done a few times, One of Fayards pilots takes his and his street bike with him, Seen it with my own eyes. The very reason I used one for an example. ------Have a good one!-------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sinker 0 #9 March 6, 2003 very nice. got one very similar myself, although I don't fancy getting that close to someone who deserves a stick.

I've seen them load more then one car into the Casa's (but never at the same time DiverDriver) and they fit snugly. I know the Skyvans work quite well for droping Sam's. I've known the benches to be pulled out of them before to get a car in one too. If your going to go to that trouble just load a plane with explosives and fly it into a staduim too. Getting the gallons and gallons of any WMD takes time, money and a lot of resources. Getting a couple hundred gallons of disiel fuel, fertilizer and other household chemicals is a whole lot easier and cheaper.
