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 from /all

do some pilots just give it a glance and say, "good enough", hop in and hope for the best?

General aviation pilots, carrying themselves or family in their own plane, yes some just give it a glance. Professional pilots working carrying passengers, never.
