Incidents where aircraft were used as weapons

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Created by Orville Eastland in Feb 2006 with the promise of "Further information to come". 18 months later we are still waiting. This is an unsourced orphan using original research. We should lay it to rest. SilkTork 15:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Totally unsourced, and nobody has updated it in quite a while.  •Malinaccier•  T / C  15:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsources as stated previously, and the inclusion criteria are vague.  It's fairly easy to make the statement that an aircraft is used as a weapon regularly, ie. a weapon of war.  A gun fires bullets, an aircraft fires rockets - something of a strained analogy but there you have it.  I understand this article to mean cases where the aircraft itself was used to inflict physical damage directly, but even then .. unsourced and unverified. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 16:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Listcruft that died on the vine. No further information to come. Realkyhick 18:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and it's missing alot from various wars, such as Joe Kennedy's flying bomb, the use of Glouster Comets to tip the wings of V1s, etc. 132.205.44.5 21:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Although this should be deleted because it hasn't prgressed very far in more than a year, the idea itself is actually quite sound. I hope that someone will adopt this orphan and bring it back.  As with the Wikipedia article The trombone as a percussion instrument it could be an informative piece about an unorthodox use of a device.  Mandsford 22:24, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
