Loading ...Two Soldiers Survive F-16 Shooting On Training Range. Rented SUV Less Well Off
A pair of soldiers drove around in a rented SUV at a test and training range, on a place where they shouldn’t be. A F-16 pilot was getting some target practice at the time and opened fire on the vehicle.
A local spokesman said the soldiers were not hit but suffered minor injuries “while exiting the vehicle in rough terrain.” Personally, any minor injuries I suffered while bailing out of a vehicle and running away while being shot at with REALLY big bullets would be a welcome alternative.
The soldiers had been training to identify enemy targets and direct aircraft to fire on them. And to this, all we can say is, “Now you know what it feels like.”
Have you ever seen those little stick-on “bullet hole” decals you can get for your car? This is what the jumbo version would look like. I just wish we had a photo of the expression on the face of the car-rental employee when this one was towed back in.
