Amazing! Hitting a target in a moving airplane at several hundred
feet with a pistol! The odds are pretty slim. Military pilots call
that the "Golden BB". That one lucky small arms shot that, totally by
chance, ends up occupying the same area of space as the plane.

When I was flying skydivers, I would have to divert to Hazel Green
Alabama to get fuel.

One fine day, the pay phone rang and I answered it. There was an
irate guy who said that the crop duster was making too much noise and
that he was going to shoot him down.

Youy've got to realize that times were simpler back then. So I asked
him to leave his name and phone number, and I would tell the crop
duster pilot to give him a call when he got back. (I was tapping my
forefinger on the side of my head thinking, boy you sure are smart).

Well, I waited, and he landed, so I went to tell him about the phone
call.

He showed me a patch on the wing where a bullet had gone through.

I guess today, I would have called the Sheriff.

And I need to say again that times really were different back then.
