Now I am all curious. It has been 30 years since I was at Mather, and I
definitely remember somebody relating an account something like this to me,

that hit was hit by a lucky rifle shot from above and the crew was killed.

Wow, a rifle shot from above! I know those A-1 drivers flew low,
but damn!

Taking the proverbial "Golden BB" from above in an A-1 is not all
that surprising if you look at the hilly, mountainous terrain in the
far north and northwest of Vietnam.
