Gewehr98 and John...
Wheeewww......
i thought that was gonna turn into a repeat of the incident a gentleman who flew some sort of ELINT mission over Souteast asia, on converted C-47s told me (i was a guest at a friends house at the same time this gentleman was visiting my friend's father)...
Note: as with all such stories i've heard i have no way of confirming if he was blowing smoke up my posterior or not. but the fact that My friend's father allowed him to tell the tale to both me and Jon gives me reason to beleive at least some of it.
He never told me WHERE as in geographical postiion this event took place, but here goes (very short adn to the point version).
his crew is on a mission, middle of the flight, the last meal he's had "catches up with him", well he's rather occupied with whichever sensor he's working (a childhood growing up around folks that can't talk about "what they do/did int he service" makes you learn not to ask, plus if he said, i don't rightly remember) at that moment so he does his best to hold on till the "run" is over..
the plane exits the area they wished to take a look at, so he IMEDIATELY hops up and makes a beeline for the chemical toilet at the rear of the plane. while he is there, the plane takes fire from a previously unknown AAA site, and is hit by a few rounds. i do not recall if there was (or if he said there was) an "unpleasant occurance" regarding the contents of the toilet. what i DO remember is what he said he found upon his return to his station aboard the aircraft....
seems one of the triple-A rounds that hit the plane failed to explode, but had entered the bottom of the aircraft, passed into the crew compartment, passed through the seat pan of the seat at his station and then exited tthe top of the aircraft!
So he considers an upset stomach to have saved his life....
again i have do not know if this was entirely true, an "air force tall tale' or a combo of the two. but it's what i thought of when the "urine luck" comment was put forth....
