I canīt help but wonder what kind of threat a helicopter would pose. What are you gonna do with it? Crash it into a building and hope itīll disintegrate ā la 9/11? Would be so much easier to cause one heck of a lot more death and destruction using much simpler and less obvious (non-aviation) means.

Kinda reminds me of when this loon circled over Frankfurt in his ultralight, causing the entire city to come to a screeching halt, with Luftwaffe fighters circling him and whatnot. I seriously wonder what would have happened had he indeed crashed his plastic airplane into some building. Does anyone here think the building would really have suffered any damage besides maybe some broken windows?

But yeah, things that fly are obviously dangerous, and we all donīt know what we are talking about. Leave it to the journos to tell the public the truth.
