NYPD Has Capability To "Take Down" Airplane

[Colorado Osprey]

ohh,

"NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly revealed over the weekend that the department had developed the capability to take down a plane, and law enforcement sources tell NBC New York that this would be done by rifle from a helicopter.

NYPD helicopters are operated by a pilot and co-pilot. In an emergency, a third member can be on board with a .50-caliber rifle. The weapon, which would be attached to a sling with a side door open on the chopper, could be used to disable a boat on the water or a small aircraft."

How much of a lead would you need to give to hit the plane?

Depends if they have the exploding home defense rounds...

That video of the NYPD officer hitting that guy is awesome. sorry but it made me laugh. I hate bicycle riders who scream share the road and then break every road law there is.

There is mush to the story that is unknown. But, tis obvious that, judging by their approach to the guy, that they wanted him for some reason. They walked directly to him.

He shouldn't have resisted arrest.

They might be better off with a stinger missle on the ground or atop a building. Good luck shooting down plane with a .50 cal . Maybe they will have Sara Brady in the gunner's seat. She seems to think it can be done.
