I like that Kelly responded "Yes" to the question - keep the muzzie scum worried. He should have said we have pig-blood-soaked bullets too.
Kelly's doing a hell of a job.

Maybe it's a bare wire in a fuel tank.

Yeah you country boys may take out the occasional squirrel or caribou (that’s what Whole Foods is for) but we city boys like to take out 777 jets from our apartment windows! Yeah baby! Wooooo!

In the 80s, the Navy developed and tested a Stinger mod that was mounted to and fired from a helicopter. Obviously NYNY doesn’t have a fighter plane (else we would have pics) but they are eat up with choppers.
My guess is this is what their latest toy is. Either that or they dug up some old Nike SAMs. Anyone else remember seeing the Nike sights up and down the east coast back in the 60s?

Remember when Air Force One buzzed Ground Zero? Man, I hope the NYPD has notified all the relevant parties! From private planes to military planes to corporate jets, etc. I’m assuming it includes helicopters.

Wondered what happened to Libyas ground to air rockets.

he replied, I prefer not to get into details, The cost of providing the amount of weapons, equipment, and personnel it would take to provide 360 degree protection from air attack for a city the size of New York City is the only "detail" New York tax payers should be interested in.

Well, in Orson Scott Card's Empire, I think the folks in NYC did it with EMP guns.

NYPD = NY Pretty Delusional.
In theory you could give them shoulder fired SAM’s but that would be extremely foolish considering that the city freaks out at the drop of a hat. If this is true, I’d be very worried.
My guess is they have some kind of “plan” to use 0.50cal rifles or something like that.
A lot of big city police forces just like to “play army” with all of the “toys” bought with federal grant money.

Heard a 50 cal. that would do it.

It's also not entirely clear legally, whether cops -- unlike the military -- could shoot at an unarmed jet.
If they feel justified in shooting an unarmed person "brandishing" a cell phone, I think they won't have any trouble justifying shooting down someone brandishing an unarmed jet.

Maintenance on the Nike’s would be very expensive.
Stingers it is.

There you go. That's what I was talking about in post #29 below. A LOT of notifications had better go out before the NYPD even thinks about shooting down anything.
Americans aren't used to these kinds of restrictions. I can see it now... Some totally innocent sightseer corporate bigwig flying over NYC and the next thing he knows... BOOM!... he's going down.
