Colin Smith, a former chief inspector for the government, said that UAVs could be purposely flown into the engines of a jetliner in an effort to bring it down.

He also said that terrorist groups can use UAVs to fly banners and other propaganda at high-profile events. Smith describes himself as, "a retired UK Chief Police Officer who has spent 37 years leading, managing, training and developing police and criminal justice in conflict environments, at strategic, tactical and operational levels." The 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard had planned to put on the Barnes Air National Guard Air Base air show in 2016 for the first time since 2010. However, it was not to be.

A Cygnus spacecraft was successfully launched Sunday on a mission to resupply ISS aboard a ULA Atlas 5 launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
