walshie 2,804 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 When you're going or coming back from holiday, there are some great sights to see out the plane window. I always enjoy seeing Blighty's green fields appear through the clouds. Seeing an armed Typhoon alongside is something I hope i never see. http://news.sky.com/story/1313846/man-sectioned-after-uk-plane-bomb-hoax Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To save the people from getting blown up there going to shoot it out the sky?? Confused.com!!! I assume to try and put the fear factor on situation? I would imagine the fighter jet would be within range from the explosion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine the fighter jet would be within range from the explosion. Yeah probably just as a visual warning to anyone on the plane. I saw one of those at a carshow recently and the noise they make is frightening on its own, let alone if you know it's there to obliterate you if required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't imagine a terrorist ever being able to get in the cockpit nowadays though, not since 9/11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
