Terrorists prefer blowing up aircraft to other things.

There have been more terrorist car bombings than plane bombings by several orders of magnitude.

I'm not sure that's relevant or comparable when there's no baseline for what terrorist means.

There are lots of reasons people bomb cars. I would bet most of those organizations (1+ individuals) would prefer to blow up planes full of specific targets over specific targets.
