Airbus Warbird?

I see in the news that US Airways, the FAA and FBI are investigating possible bullet holes in three airliners. Two are Airbus 320s, the other a Boeing 737.

If they are bullet holes, would it make these aircraft warbirds?

And would the US Airways colour scheme become a viable alternative to camoflage?

It is a sad state of affairs, when you even have to place a disclaimer for a good joke!

Society has really changed, and I fear, not for the best...

I heard that they were also investigating some aircraft with punctures on their bellies, that seemed to have been made with screwdrivers. MoFo's!!!!

A very disgusted,

Ever so often the Indains here have a slight up rising. The last time I remember a Huey being "shot" down. One bullet hit a vital area and they had to land in a hurry. Everone was OK but sometimes stupid poeple do really stupid things

Last time I checked, taking pot-shots at the choppers flying TOO LOW, and showing TOO MUCH INTEREST in the back forty was still considered fair sport! :shock:

Kind of reminds me of those pot growers in N. California will take shots at your plane if you land on some of the dirt airstrips up in the Eureka area.

Do bullet holes make them warbirds? Noooo...it makes them targets!

If an Elementary School in New Jersey gets shot full of holes, does THAT make it a warbird?

No, but someone is may have a lifeong "Bad Day" over this!
Sumpthin' tells me the "poor lad" ain't ever gonna' see past his current rank ....Glad there were no casualties... For his sake I hope there was
a mechanical "glitch" sparing him lifelong penalties!

Who needs tailguns, when you have a pooper shooter in the tail.

Remember, never fly under a flock of seagulls, it takes days to clean it off.

And thank God that neither Elephants nor Cows can fly, otherwise . . .
