In the 80s, F-15s stationed in Germany repeatedly used to lock onto cars racing on our famous German Autobahn (=no speed limits), that fast cars were racing. Think those drivers were lucky!:huh:

The base's parking lot was full, so he parked on the missile range! The missile range???:o
He might missed the "NO PARKING" sign!:roll:

lol, Damn, I saw "parking" and for some reason I saw that as "trespassing." But, I suppose a parked car could survive if it doesn't immediately explode into a fireball. :lol:

We forgot "at the owner's expense". Why should the Air Force have to pay for strafing an illegally parked vehicle?

Technically the owner of the SUV already paid the Air Force by way of taxes.:yep:
So, in a sense, he paid someone to shoot up his own car!

Really, Would've been much more spectacular if he fired an AGM-65 at them
I'm surprised the vehicle didn't explode into a million pieces either way

I didnt read
I'm at work and have about 5-7 windows open at the same time, yeah mutli tasking isnt really healthy:dead:
but now after I red it...
*lucky it was just a rental car
*lucky the injuries arent serious
*lucky the pilot had bad aim
*unlucky is the one is going to hang for this
:hmm: now if I rent a car over there...I think I should ask if getting shot by a F-16 is included with the insurance :p

The cops needed a reason to ban the car from the streets.

Why are the tires flat? It doesnt seem like they are hit.They aren't, just as there are not 70 rds in that thing. Most missed I'd say, but enough hit to do the job if that was what the pilot was aiming for.

Aiming for the cold beer out back his buddies were supposed to bring back to base?
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Seriously, most of the 20mm rounds went to the rear of the SUV.:yep:

I'm wondering what the hell they were doing so close to the live-fire range.
It's a perfect example of "Doing STUPID in the NO STUPID ZONE".
5 klicks is the blink of an eye to a fast moving jet....
Reminds me of how a similar accident ocurred with another pilot accidentally strafing a school someplace on the East Coast (thankfully it was empty).

In all seriousness, YES.
The live-fire range for aircraft had been there since the 1940s' before the town was even built. So some dumbass decided to build the school only 5 miles away from the firing range.
Obviously, parents were upset and they wanted the firing range shut down after the incident and I never heard anything of it afterwards.

When I was EOD out at Hill, we had a similar situation.
An A-10 was SUPPOSED to be doing a dry run on this target. We were transiting the area with range clearance. Suddenly we became aware that the run was hot.
A GAU-8, even with training rounds, can ruin your day real fast.
Never saw the fat team chiefs unass a vehicle quite so fast before. :rotfl:
Of course this is only funny because no one got hurt. Believe me, we were not laughing at the time. :nope:
