to blithly assume that because the present collection of chemtrailies do not have the smarts or initiative to obtain weaponry that could take out a plane , tthis status quo will remain , is being unduly optimistic
A medium caliber fill auto gun with full jacket ammo hitting a plane on the runway as it approaches the shooter at rotation would cause a tragic downing
no rpg or manpad required, just attend a gun show in the right place
In addition to that, it might not just be a chemtrailer. Many of these CT nut-jobs
"cross pollinate" to other whacko belief systems. I'll bet you that vast majority of chemtrailers also fall on the side of 911 Truthers, Apollo HB's, grassy knollers, anti-illuminati, new world order, Nibiru Nuts etc etc etc.
As far as aircraft vulnerability goes, you are absolutely right. An aircraft is at its most vulnerable during take-off, especially in the few seconds after V2. Its altitude is low, its airspeed is low (only just above stalling), and in the case of a twin engined airliner such as a 737, you have two powerful engines going at TO power. A well positioned shooter, on the ground, head on to the aircraft, and equipped with a high powered semi-auto weapon such as an FN L1A1 7.62 could simply shoot into the intake nacelle of one engine, and it could well be all over in seconds. That engine would likely either flame out or catch fire, the other engine still going at max thrust would cause a transverse power loading that would try to turn the aircraft violently. The pilot will be likely hit with a triple whammy;
1. The aircraft is flipping over due to the transverse power loading
2. Not enough airspeed to turn in to altitude
3. Not enough altitude to turn into airspeed.
While it is a recoverable situation, the recovery success rate for take-off engine failure
after V2 is not high.
