OK, let's examine this.
1. An aircraft sits very high above the ground. You have to get into the fuselage by stairs.
2.There are only a small number of exits and entrances ON a plane.
3. It's long and narrow. with special seats which would be tough to reproduce.
4. According to a friend of mine in the Business, an aircraft must be cleared within a minute or less of the bad guys or extreme fatalities within the passenger compatment may result because of close proximity.
5. Especially in modern hijackings, the aircraft is often rigged with explosives, with the detonators carried by suicidal maniacs who are totally unafraid to simply push the button and blow the plane, the passengers, the rescuers AND themselves straight to "paradise". Since the procedures for taking down a hijacked aircraft are classified, just how can you reproduce such a thing in Airsoft? You can't. At the first sound, the guys inside press their detonators and game over. Makes for a pretty boring game.
I think aircraft hijacking rescues are outside the realm of this game. Sorry to piss on your parade.
