Remember the story of the drunk flyer, that shot his own plane, while
hunting from the air?

Shot himself right out of the sky, as I remember.

Not an urban legend. There was a write up of it some aviation book and
the NTSB apparently said something like, if that one guy hadn't lived a
few days and told us what happened we would have NEVER imagined this!

As I recall these idiots were trying to shoot an eagle. IMHO they
deserved to go down. They also had picked up the aircraft at one
airport, flown to another airport to pick up their buddies and the beer,
then went flying...
