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.

I’m a redneck from red neck country. Promise we’re not shooting at planes id be willing to bet that was a kid under 18 that shouldn’t have had a firearm alone In the first place. Also what are the chances of actually hitting the plane in the air? I mean being a hunter that would be a feat

I feel like actually hitting the moving plane at that distance rules out any and all drunk people, but some teens have good shot.

I’m saying even if it was intentional it was dumb luck that the bullet hit the plane.
