now thats prob the stupidist thing i have seen someone do with a model plane. while i doubt that it would have killed anyone if it got sucked into the engine and the engine failed (they were really close to the runway that model plane wasnt high at all, id guess 400-600 ft so they could have easily make it to the runway on one engine) it still would have cost the airline company some serious cash to replace.
and if for some crazy reason it did knock out the 1:1 and people died it would be seen as a act of terrorism and model airplanes might be banned off the face of the earth.

jail time...maybe... this guy is a idoit but im guessing he is one of those poeple who do things for show and never bothers to think about the conquences, if i could do anything i wouldnt throw him in prison, id throw him on an island in the middle of nowhere with plenty of food/water/shelter/model planes to last a few years. that way he couldnt do any harm.
no sence in making a criminal out of a idoit, if not island than HUGE fines, if not huge fines than jail.


i have had real airplanes/hellies (small ones no 737's) enter the flying pattern. all you have to do is drop throttle, glid till they are out of the way (loose altitude, if nessiary land), and resumb flying its not hard.
