So you are saying that they would not have shot it down, ever? Of course,
they knew pretty early on that it was of little threat, so the fighters were not sent up until fairly late. But, what would the collateral damage be from shooting down a Beech 1900 or a 737? Where would they choose to shoot it down? It's gonna end up in somebody's yard. -- Hello, my name is Mike, and I am an airplane addict.... "Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ... Because the "collateral damage" of shooting the plane down would have been way higher than any damage inflicted by the plane itself. Simple as that. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)
