I suspect that was a very bad day for more than just the Avenger crew.

Bad thing about that, is back in those days, they had to ride 'er down when things went wrong because of the lack of ejection seats.

Matt308: I like your avatar. I just got home from shooting in my first 3-gun target competition, and one of the hosts was using a well-used M1A/M14 and was tearing the course up, literally and figuratively. Lots of fun. I've wanted one of those for years.
