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.
