Too bad that toilet didn't hit Hanoi Jane in the head.
Also love the sky raider and it's kin the thunderbolt.

I wonder what the oddest thing intentionally dropped from an airplane is?

My BIL flew in a Medevac chopper in NAM and he once told me that more than a few living things were thrown to the ground, by the ARVN for the most part, if certain questions went unanswered.

I remember hearing tales from door gunner that when the barrels of their M60s were just about dead they would unlock them so the next round down the pipe would launch the barrel clear. I always wondered if anyone ever got a kill like that

An interesting story, but the chance of a case blowing from the headspace being unpredictable without the latch still locked down (copters aren't exactly the smoothest ride out there) and wrecking the top cover and possibly the gunner himself seems just too high.
If it worked as stated, it would save the gunner from having to put on the big yellow oven mitt, but it wouldn't be worth the risk.

Never forget that the world is full of people who would take risks you wouldn't.
