Bullet strikes Southwest Airlines plane without injuries at Dallas airport
A bullet has struck the body of a Southwest Airlines airplane preparing for departure from a Dallas airport, forcing the cancellation of the evening flight.
No injuries were reported and law enforcement was contacted after the bullet struck the right side of the aircraft just under the flight deck. At the time, the crew of Flight 2494 was preparing the plane for departure from Dallas Love Field Airport, Southwest said in a statement.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft was “struck by gunfire near the cockpit” around 8:30 p.m. while taxiing before the flight to Indianapolis International Airport. The plane returned to the gate and the passengers exited, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy shooting at an airplane is a good guy shooting at an airplane.
We need to arm the airplanes.
They've already got wings, arms would just get in the way.
I would so pay extra to sit in the machine gun turret
Imagine what the 787 would look like if they strapped guns to it, A-10 style.
At 787 size you're probably looking more like an AC-130.
