I heard rumor it was shot down...


That's one hell of a good shot, if it really was at 12,000 feet, as it was
reported to be! g


Reminds me about the story about the Fed pouncing on a rancher who'd fired a
rifle at a military fighter that he claimed had been buzzing his cattle. The
fighter pilot denied it, claiming he'd been in straight-and-level flight several
thousand feet up.

Fighter pilot, however, could NOT explain why the rifle bullet's exit hole was
only slightly higher on the left side of the fuselage than the entry hole in the
right....

turning while shot.
a steep turn would make the situation easily achieved.
