Yea, I hear you. It seems a little odd that the bugger was smart enough to lead the plane enough to actually hit the pilot...but stranger things have happened.deadstick said:1-- "he heard a "crack" from the ground" (?!!?!?)
2-- just how *low* was he?
3-- That's quite a shot. Bad guy or not. Big-sky-little-bullet theory proven right once again.
4-- I wonder if this guy's wife said, "See, I told you you were hard-headed."

Hole in their head.
Oh come on. Someone had to say it. I can't belive this thread went this far and no one tried it before me.
You guys are gettin slow.
I was shot at and missed, shat at and hit and wiped all over the place...and that was down in South America.BD King said:We are not getting slow. I was just waiting for a comment on "shooting the approach". Actually, I have been shot at and hit, and I'm not talking about South East Asia.
It's not a quiet point! *sigh* Come on now avbug, I expected better than that from you!avbug said:Nope. Just last year the FAA removed from under the "Do you now have or have you ever had" section the option to check the box that said "hit in forehead with .44 magnum in flight." Although if that option were indeed still there he could simply check the box and put "previously reported, no change," each year.
Now he's exempt from requiring a medical certificate. After all, if someone can get shot in the forehead and still fly, does anybody really care what other physical maladies might befall him? Seems a rather mute point.
Now he need only self certify that he isn't bleeding all over the aircraft interior, and he can fly with only an expired drivers license.
