"It could kill. That's super dangerous, so somebody who
is doing something like that really needs to think about
it."

International Flight School based at Kendall/Tamiami Executive
Airport near Miami, FL. The FAA recently took the unusual -- and
disturbing -- step of issuing a Notice to Airmen for pilots flying
into the airport, after bullet holes were found in the fuselages of
two aircraft based at the busy general aviation field. To avoid the
chances of being hit by gunfire, pilots are advised to make steep
approaches into the airport, and to make haste when climbing out on
takeoff.
