F/A18E Fly by wire eh?
I'd be pulling the maintenance logs for that aircraft, finding that black box, and figuring out how the fuck this thing tries to Carolina Lawn Dart (AV-8B Harrier) right into a gathering of people in one of the hottest places in the states.
Anyone else find that small aircraft advisory for hacking (https://threatpost.com/dhs-warning-small-aircraft-hacking/146795/) a little spoopy? Curious if the pilot has been to therapy and is on any meds for PTSD or the like.

>Initially, the Super Hornet's avionics and software had a 90% commonality with that of the F/A-18C/D fleet at the time.[57] Differences include an up-front Touchscreen control display; a large multipurpose color liquid-crystal display; and a fuel display.[57] The Super Hornet has a quadruplex digital fly-by-wire system,[65] as well as a digital flight-control system that detects and corrects for battle damage.[60] Initial production models used the APG-73 radar, later replaced by the AN/APG-79 active electronically scanned array (AESA).
