We all saw Bruce Willis in that documentary "Die Hard " and
can see how easy it is to have rogue soldiers working for a
non-Muslim dictator change the airport elevation, make the
planes on-board radar altimeter stop working [stealth
ground] and prevent all those airliners from switching
frequencies and talking to their company dispatcher and the
other traffic on the frequencies. And all airline pilots
will just circle until they're out of fuel.

Really stupid movie.

I think Manic uses that movie as basis for most of his aviation knowledge!
