It's not that simple. They need to do quite a bit of analysis to determine if that portion of the body is a high stress area, calculate the skin stiffness and stress risers that would be introduced by riveting a plate on, do thermal and stress fatigue calculations to make sure there's low risk of the rivets snapping, determine how many rivets should be used, and how far apart they need to be (i.e. how big does the plate need to be), and finally there's quite a bit of documentation and regulatory paperwork to certify the repair. I would have estimated this to be way more than 10-15 hours of work for an engineer. $2000 seems reasonable for something that you need to trust never to fail, but you can't test.

Please explain how this incident would amount to the opposite conclusion-it’s mind-blowing that a pilot and plane are not safe, just sitting on the ramp. A couple of questions: since you know exactly when and where this happened, had you seen or heard anything other than this video’s contents to clue you in to the fact that you’d been shot; and did you recover the round? I’m a bit surprised that a round that has exhausted its’ velocity after being shot, and is simply falling out of the sky under force of gravity, would land Point first (because the puncture in the image looked quite round and fairly clean), and with enough force to actually pierce the actual aircraft. I’m sure u have already thought about this and probably even done the physics; all the same, to a layman like me, the obvious suggestion that this brings to mind; well it’s pretty disconcerting. Super glad that you didn’t discover it the hard way!

Thanks for the video. It's a great reminder for those who were not trained sufficiently about the importance. That hole could have developed into a catastrophic failure. Personally I could never "easily" jump in my aircraft & go anywhere. I never once thought about not doing a thorough pre-flight. To me it's unthinkable not to perform every step required in the preflight checklists. But those who have a bad attitude may not. I got my pilots license in 1984. I've also flown sailplanes & even hang gliders. Never skipped a step in a pre-flight & never even allowed myself to consider not doing one. Never. To me it's unthinkable. If it's unthinkable you'll never consider doing it.

I would guess that the bullet was not just falling from the sky, just at moderate angle and probably bit into the aircraft while traveling at above terminal velocity, assuming the shooter shot at 15-30 degrees. I assume there is a range of angles the shot could have had enough energy to puncture the aircraft, while being capable of hitting the top.

Locals would be shooting their guns up in the air for some reason or another and what goes up must come down. That’s what it looks like happened there. Astronomical odds, for sure, but you certainly weren’t in a 90° bank getting shot at, I guess. We occasionally found this during our morning FOD walks, right after major holidays.

@@amzarnacht6710 Well since you were annoying enough to be a fact-checker on a joke let me fact check you -- when intercepting other aircraft you come from above and to one side of the plane. Generally, you approach from 7 o'clock high. Then you fire down on and from slightly behind the target aircraft. I once had to patch up a plane where they shot the pilot's toe off. The shot that took off his toe came through the roof. I had to patch the top and bottom of the plane (entry and exit)

That engineering bill probably included several weeks worth of analysis to make sure that the standard repair technique will be strong enough. Rules of thumb and standard practice can be enough for many mechanics and technicians, but when you ask an actual engineer to sign off on a solution they actually have to do the calculations and modeling to make sure it will work. You can argue with whether an engineered solution is needed all day long, but engineering does have a fair amount of labor involved.

One of my former colleagues was one of the first army investigators (CID) assigned to Vietnam (yes, that was a _long_ time ago). His first case was similar to this. A soldier, partying with some buddies in an encampment, fired a shot into the air, almost straight up. The round came back down and struck another soldier sitting in a group watching a film (if I recall correctly) a few hundred feet away. That soldier died instantly. I worked a very similar case about 20 years later when a bullet (seemingly from nowhere) came down and penetrated the hood of a truck parked at a vehicle repair shop. _Never_ fire a bullet unless you are certain about what you're going to hit.

I think Mythbusters did a disservice to this myth when they tested it because they only considered one type of bullet (a round nosed FMJ pistol bullet). Different types of bullets with different aerodynamic charactertistics have different terminal velocities and fall at different speeds. And if the bullet is fired in an arc rather than straight up and down, it will carry the horizontal component of its movement throughout its flight.

In a pressurized aircraft, anything in the pressure vessel requires engineering evaluation and approval. Strength is only a small part of the evaluation. How will the repair affect the stress loading on skin and nearby structure. How will the change affect cycle fatigue of the structure and if so what is the expected life before failure. How resistant is the repair to damage. Cycle fatigue and stress loading on pressurized aircraft is extremely important. Cycle fatigue is very difficult to detect and can become apparent only when it fails, sometimes catastrophically. Example, Aloha Airlines Flight 243.

Your neighbor is both right and wrong. He is right in the case of small caliber bullets like BB's, pellets and .22 calibers slow down more significantly when falling because you can't use just the standard equations. For small objects the dynamic viscosity of the "fluid", which is the air, has to be taken into account This in effect gives you a larger Coefficient of drag for smaller objects even though they are the same shape. On the other hand.....A large bullet like a 7.62 or 50 caliber looks like it can reach over 500 feet per second when free falling before it reaches terminal velocity. That can easily penetrate the skull and kill a person. In the Middle East there have been many cases where they shoot into the air with AK's in celebration of something and end up with fatalities.

Yes, sure,, because you know what the bullet was fired at and for what reason. The fact that it was in the TOP of the plane says accidental rando impact not " numpty" asshat! But I guess since you eat nothing but grass, wear only clothes that didn't come from animals or petroleum and have never used a drop of fossil fuel for anything allows you to assume the individual that fired the weapon was a "numpty". Another superior white man assumption....

Always Check The Pressure Test Switch. And Make sure it is off Manual and switched to Auto.

Looks like it was fired into the air and hit the plane on the way back down. Good thing you found it before flying. Very few would have caught that on the pre-flight.
