Man, he must really hate the gas guzzlers
From a friend of mine ( haven't Snoped it 'cause I like the picture):
The SUV driver is very lucky to be alive! Please read the story below.
USAF CAS training
Another AF pilot who slept through "Target Identification 101"
And trust me, Shemya AFB while not the end of the earth, it is only 20 miles away from it.
Bad day for SUVs at Dugway...
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 20mm 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!
