Not too worried about the terrorist angle on this...... it is just that pit represents a LOT of money (and time) invested. I think a lot of the panels are commercial ones... and I have seen the prices on them.
Maybe if a terrorist trys to start the engines on a real F16, they will blow themselves up as they do that. We can hope
. Of course they don't seem to mind that, do they
?
If this theft hits the mainstream press...... they will be all over the sensational "terrorist" aspects of the possibilities from this.... realistic or not. (I can see the headlines now!
)
I just hope something like this does not once again start up the whole "
flight simulator available to the public is bad" BS that got started after 9/11. Or generate a "
building simpits is bad" mentality. An Airbus or Boeing air transport simpit then would likely be a "worse thing" than a military craft might be.
best,
