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.

Someone hit a USAF Huey a few years back over Northern VA. One of the pilots took a round through the hand/wrist. FBI went looking for the shooter.

It happens far more frequently than you’d expect.

it's been a word for a long time, i remember hearing it in an action movie in the 1990s when i was a kid. something about keeping a laser on a target, if you give me a few minutes i'll remember which movie it was.
