Airplanes are not prey, but they can be targets. Back in my
hometown, Springfield, IL, the National Guard rifle range,
Camp Lincoln [dates from the Civil War period] is just a
mile south of the airport. The Guardsmen, from Chicago's
unit, were seen to be shooting at the airplanes in the
pattern. The fix for this was to close the range to
civilians who would be witnesses. This was in the time of
the draft and Viet Nam, I suppose the troops are better
trained and supervised today.

| Depends on the hunters. Airplanes are also prey.
