Hey all just wondering about an armed F16 that was on the Signature FBO ramp at SFO.
It had big missiles on the wingtips and small ones underneath the wings. The radar guided type and the heat seeking kind I guess.
I don't have a problem with the military so don't get me wrong when I say it seemed a little strange. I've seen plenty of military aircraft at civilian airports but this was the first time I have seen an armed military aircraft on a civilian ramp with no one looking after it. No, I didn't check the rooftops for snipers... LOL.
The FBO doesn't exactly have airtight security, I don't trust them with my King Air. Aren't there any rules about armed aircraft at civilian airports?
I'm not a conspiracy theorist worried about the military shooting down airliners or other nonsense. It was more of a practical worry about being next to something that can go boom and no one qualified to deal with an accident of that type on the airport.
