I have never heard of the IRA possessing an AA gun...perhaps it was a AK47 rifle....they did try and buy red eyes...or SAM's to us military dogs....but they got caught in Florida in a sting ops...
Also wasn't the mortar attack in Heathrow aimed at the local police station....and 1 or 2 mortars over shot their target and ended up airside???? i think that was the real reason.....
The IRA have never attacked a civilian aircraft....they only go for the Lynx helos in NI.
Anyways aren't we getting off the point.......
I like the way they say a Delta pilot......Comair was bought by Delta but still trades as Comair....not DELTA......so why not say "a Comair pilot"....i guess that using the Delta name gives better publicity....but also exposes Delta to a backlash by fanatics....
