Colombian Air Force T-27 shoots down a GA aircraft carrying drugs

It took the guy 5 passes to shoot down a non maneuvering aircraft. Compare that to the pilots from WWII.

I know but how hard is it to shoot down a non maneuvering aircraft? Personally I never tried but looking at the thousands of pilots from WWII this should be very easy. I can understand you can miss on the first pass, but 5 passes??  :O  :bhead

Yup, be sure, the drug a/c only flew straight and level the whole time, at tree top level

The Americans would send out 500 plus escorts and only claim a few German a/c even though the was several hundred German a/c that would attack the bombers.

I wonder what kind of guns that T-27 has...

Why did they shoot that twin down? Was it a threat to anyone?

Seems like they were really worried about him leaving their airspace.

Don't think it justifies it though.

Ever hear of Google Search?

The subject title says why the a/c was shot down > CARRYING DRUGS.

Is carrying drugs really a good reason to kill someone? Especially if they are unarmed and not a threat to you.

Looked like the GA aircraft was maneuvering quite well and it sounded like the T-27 was having a hard time keeping up.

Pretty good E retention on the GA guys part.  :lol

Anybody from AH gone missing lately?

I'm guessing whoever was in that plane was some sort of big wig in the cartels.

Yes


And it's also spelled Colombia for other posters.

I go there often for work. It's a really beautiful country with very nice people. Things are changing slowly but surely for the better in Colombia. Also been married to a beautiful Colombian lady for the last 23 years.


With regard to the the ease of shooting someone, whether in an airplane or on the ground. It's a lot different in real life than compared to a computer or console game. I hope none of you ever have to experience that...
