(...) Agreed, it looks like a SAM battery, and isn't that a bit unappropriate for a set that was originally exclusive to airline companies (according to Brickset). Nothing more that I want to think about as I'm on a flight than surface-to-air (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.military)

The sheriff or police emblem seems pretty clear. I think the 'rocket launchers' are supposed to be landing skids (yeah, right). I definitely agree that alternate models seems like it has to be a SAM launcher... what else could it be? SAMs for the (...)

Richie- Thanks for the comments. I'm just waiting for the next incarnation of the Famous Mister Snottler to appear--they've been getting to be quite amazing, and given the extreme flare of the bows on those types of warships I'm looking forward to (...)
