F-16 takes out tyranical suburban!!
Anyone see this yet? Its on several other forums and f-16.net as well.
Sobering shot of an SUV that got lit up by mistake, by an F16 driver near the air-ground gunnery range outside Dugway, Utah. The 'light paint and body damage' is the result of a one-quarter-second burst by the fighter's 20 mm gun, which fires about 3000 rounds per minute. An estimated 70 rounds left the gun; the results are as you see here. What's even more astonishing is - the SUV was being driven at the time. The driver and the guy in the right-hand passenger seat escaped with some light glass injury to the driver, and a dislocated shoulder to the passenger. The shots hit the gas tank, but didn't explode; the gas just leaked out. The passenger who normally sits in the back seat had just moved to another vehicle. The vehicle was on the military reservation, but a full three miles away from the gunnery range. The pilot is probably doubtless be busily writing 'I WILL NOT ENGAGE SOFT CIVILIAN VEHICLES IN NO-FIRE ZONES' 1,000 times, after which he will be PCS'd to Shemeya AFB, Alaska. The good news is that he only had 508 plus or minus 2 rounds of ball training ammo and not HEI (high explosive incendiary)! I would imagine this event will have an impact on his career!

I understand it was a rental too!
 I would have loved to be at the counter when they brought that back for return. I hope they bought the extended insurance coverage! Last edited by LSixer : Jun 04, 2008 at 11:32 AM. |

Since when are F-16s driven?
The pilot probably played Ace Combat one too many times.
