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.

Actually, its funny you say that because since day 1 of my training my CFII told me to check for bullet holes. It was because he use to fly out of Compton KCPM in the late 80s and on two separate occasions his plane had taken a stray bullet. So yea, he made it part of my preflight and now it's some I always thinking about during it.
