Technically the owner of the SUV already paid the Air Force by way of taxes.

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

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.

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.

Makes sense - moving SUV, pilot takes aim, most will hit near the rear.

The pilot will be up for a medal from Greenpeace for taking out an SUV
