I just heard that too. He (or she), we don't know yet, died of wounds after they returned.

Fox said it wasn't one of our planes. ~whew.......

Still, someone died. I wonder why this article says it is a US Air Force plane.

For the disclaimer: This is complete guess work, probably complete bunk, and I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Ok, say the plane has a takeoff speed of 130 knots or so, by the time they get to 14 miles out I'm guessing they'd be around 250 kts (wild guess). An averaged speed of 180 would take them about 4 or 5 minutes to get to 14 miles out. Using a climb rate of around 1500 fpm, they would have been about 5000-7500 feet up. What small arms could reach that?

Fox said it wasn't one of our planes. ~whew.......So it merits a "whew" if someone dies on a plane belonging to one of our allies? I hope I am misunderstanding your comment. Could you explain?
