@Faramir: I'm gonna take a leap and say wizard vs aircraft wouldn't be much of a fight.
Low altitude: Little Bird on a gun run; no joy.
Mid Altitude: AC-130, Apache gunship, Warthog...tend to ruin your day.
High Altitude: And fast mover, or any plane that begins with B
(We took on the Decepticons)
Transformers vs. Wizards
... Seriously? I mean, take ten wizards, five with hippogriphs, all armed with some sort of corrosive potion and wands, I think it's pretty even.

What is your character doing at the platform?
That depends on what kind of air support we would call in. Can a broom or a hippogrif break the sound barrier?
From what I remember of the books, the wizard community at large was fairly clueless as to what muggles were actually capable of. The ministry's own "muggle expert" barely knew what a toaster was.
Again, I think that the first mission is meant as a bit of a wake up call for the wizards.
You are reading this.@Faramir:
- Are hippogriff's more maneuverable than aircraft?
- Are they faster than aircraft?
- Would you be alive long enough to get into visual range?
- How high can you go on a hippogriff before hypoxia sets in?
What you described is pretty much the aerial equivalent of a suicide bomber charging a tank with a termite grenade. and we know how well insurgents do against tanks.

Ok, so wizards haven't smartened up in the past 20 years as much as I'd like, and this is a wake-up call for them... would everyone be panicking at the arrival of the muggles?
@ Scholastica: My character's a student in her last year at hogwarts, my guess is she's late, and she's arriving just as things mess up bad. Would a muggle capture her?

Aw man, that world building thread about Dragons vs. Airplanes got wiped. It looked so cool too...
Charlie Tunoku is a lover and a fighter.They would if they are shooting and there a bunch of 11 year old nearby.
So everyone's freaking out, muggles are drawing guns on people, and a late student arrives just as the train is leaving. Which one of you psychos would use me as a meat shield?

Charlie Tunoku is a lover and a fighter.I think about a head shorter than you. Maybe head and a half.

@Scholastica:...What are you doing in Britain Miss Hood? And, would you jeopardize the safety of hundreds of students over one late one?

I'm really new to the whole "Free-form Forum RPG in HP universe" thing, I didn't mean to get in the GM's Turf.

I am SO doing that.
