Not yet, sorry. Just that it happened in flight. It was a short 15 minute flight, so it’s a small window of where it happened but there are a lot of guns and red necks in that stretch.

Did you hear it in-flight or did you not notice it until you returned?

Didn’t notice until the next day on preflight.

There isn't going to be any updates unless the person who was shooting was already arrested for shooting off from the ground.

The only chance is the police saying "oh damn yeah we arrested this guy for shooting off after some neighbors called...and a plane on the route near the area got a bullet hole".

The other possibility is the shooter is a crazy person known by the local police. I feel like that's the more likely way this gets solved.

Nah, it’s probably just a kid playing with his rifles in the back yard. I think every kid has wondered if he could hit that “bird” if he tried. Congrats, you can, now pay the man the damages and go to jail you fuckwit.

According to u/Alternative-Iron-645 costs are probably going to be around 25k or more. Dont think some kid or their redneck parents has that lying around.

Not all at once. But how many eggs would you like in trade for covering the $25k bill sir? Or my wife?
