Screw that.

Even if the only order you can give is "land at LAX runway 25R", that's
quite enough fun to be had.  Consider doing to something that just took off
from 25L and is just starting its climb, having it circle around and land
again.  This is sure to make the day of the next few pilots on final
approach - you don't need to actually cause a collision in order to cause
a a crash (see the jet that crashed on takeoff at JFK a few years ago
when it hit turbulence caused by the plane before).

And I won'd discuss what happens if you tell something to land at
LAX runway 25R when somebody's cleared for takeoff on 7L.....
