Fun fact; if you were getting ready to crash land, there was a procedure to jettison the turret. Apparently it was better to crash land without a blister hanging off the bottom of the craft. If you had 40 minutes before you had to crash land, you were expected to grab the electronic gunsight from the ball turret, because they were expensive.
I assume by crash land, this meant wheels up in a field, or back at the base due to landing gear damage.
