Anti-aircraft warfare

In the past, I have taken several different airlines. Some good, some bad, however the majority of my experience has been average. In early 2017, United Airlines got caught having police officers physically forcing a man off of a flight. With more and more details being discovered, the story unfolded of what happened on that plane. Apparently, United had overbooked the flight, promising one of their “higher-ups” a seat on this particular flight. After having asked the passengers to volunteer to…

Rejected and ignored, the Discopter seemed destined to fade away. Then came 1947. The first highly publicized sighting of an unidentified flying object came on June 24 of that year when private pilot Kenneth Arnold claimed he spotted a string of nine shiny objects flying past Washington’s Mt. Rainier at speeds he clocked at 1,200 miles per hour. Although Arnold never specifically used the term “flying saucer,” he was quoted at the time saying the shape of the objects he saw was like a…

Without a concern, Daedalus believes that Icarus understands how to operate the wings. Icarus is an adolescent, who like most children of his age does not have an extensive attention span. Daedalus has yet to take Icarus out for a flying simulation before rewarding him the wings to fly on his own. A single lesson is not enough to determine the hazards and risks of flying. Similarly to driving a car, it takes years of accumulated experience and practice to fully know an individual's driving skill…

There have been many airplane hijackings in the U.S. since the commercial airline was invented, but one soars above the others in infamy and impossibility. This hijacker has been a mystery for decades now and many theories have appeared as to who this man is. Many have wondered about is this mystery man that has escaped the world for so many years. There is no proof of his true identity, but he is known as D.B. Cooper. The criminal known as “D.B. Cooper” has sparked many theories as to both his…

same day. Munoz wrote a recap to the events that aspired in the airplane to his employee’s, and inside included negative attributes to the victim, “He [Dao] was approached a few more times after that in order to gain his compliance to come off the aircraft, and each time he refused and became more and more disruptive and belligerent” (McCann). Here, Dao is talked about with words like “disruptive” and “belligerent” to make him seem rebellious, so United’s actions could be seen as acceptable.…

Whip Whitaker might well have chosen to enclose himself in a motel room and drink to death, as Nicolas Cage did in Leaving Las Vegas. But instead chooses to go ahead put on his uniform as captain and take command of the aircraft and endanger the lives of his passengers and crew members. Was Whitaker's alcoholism what caused the crash? No. Was it irresponsible of him to have gotten on that plane highly intoxicated with alcohol and drugs? Yes. That is why the heroic determination with which he…

Journal Entry 1: The GREEN HORNET has just gone down. I can't even fathom how it happened, something went wrong and Cuppernell and I were in switched positions. We couldn't save the plane, we're in the Pacific now. It's up to Louie, Mac, and me now. Louie and Mac sorted the supplies we have: -some coins -watches (that don't work) -flare gun -two canvas case air pumps -sea dye -half-pint tins of water -a brass mirror -set of pliers with a built-in screwdriver -spool of fishing line -set of…

Brian Robeson, a thirteen-year old boy that hasn’t been seen in several months. He was going to see his father up in Canada, on a smaller plane and just him and the pilot on board. His father has been waiting for Brian to show up, but there has been no sign of the thirteen-year old. His family is extremely concerned on what has happened to him. Brian’s parents are divorced; he doesn’t see his Dad much and was going to visit him. I think you must keep searching for this brave thirteen-year old…
