No injuries were reported and law enforcement was contacted after the bullet struck the right side of the aircraft just under the flight deck. At the time, the crew of Flight 2494 was preparing the plane for departure from Dallas Love Field Airport, Southwest said in a statement.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft was “struck by gunfire near the cockpit” around 8:30 p.m. while taxiing before the flight to Indianapolis International Airport. The plane returned to the gate and the passengers exited, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
We need to arm the airplanes.
I would so pay extra to sit in the machine gun turret
They’ve already got wings, arms would just get in the way.
Imagine what the 787 would look like if they strapped guns to it, A-10 style.
At 787 size you’re probably looking more like an AC-130.
