airplane noun air·​plane ˈer-ˌplān : a powered heavier-than-air aircraft with fixed wings from which it derives most of its lift

Cruise Missiles are defined as aircraft.

That can go two ways.

I'm telling you what I know from years of experience investigating such things, not as some basement dwelling wanna-be who read a wiki page wanting internet clout.

I'll say it again: It was a cruise missile.
