Hey guys,

How about some ground to air combat?

Since you guys fly in the Bermuda Triangle of laws, how about this:

Pick one really, really fast and relatively small plane and then arm the opposition with a single shot .410 shotgun with light shot (#8 bird shot).

Then have some ground to air combat - if the plane can fly in the designated area for 1 minute, the pilot wins. The shotgun wins, well, if the plane crashes to the ground full of holes before the minute expires.

The pilot will have speed and manuverability. The shotgunner will have...a shotgun...although he'll need to load it for each shot as it would be a single shot shotgun.

Crazy flyer/crasher :D
I have nothing against the idea but the problem is that a shot gun has a pretty widely spread amount of area that it completely shreds everything apart.

So why not do it with BB bullets or a smaller airgun? That would give the plane much more of a chance and make it more interesting. BTW there is a video of DavePowers having a Ground to Air combat with BB bullets.

Well I live in the uk and to own any type of weapon legally in this country you have to give a dna sample to the queen learn to
speak latin and hop on one leg for a fortnight......so i propose we do this challenge with a pea shooter and some really harsh
language.....that will do it
