Lol. Stevo hasn't up loaded the episode with the snap rolls over South Beach yet.
So really, I'm confused? Was it a bullet coming back down to earth or a lateral shot with a big arc? Or was he really rolling when the bullet hit? Wish he could have stuck the bill to the city.

they dont know
still, exactly because he has the $ I am sure that someone is USA is more than capable of doing the repairs for much less. Any airplane builder would know that patch repair.
@@totilsom I don't think it is his airplane. Also, they did the right thing by letting Daher engineers figure what is best. Yes someone else could "patch it" but honestly, in the aviation world it would effect the value negatively if another builder or non Daher shop did the work.
Right, I mean insurance probably covered most of this cost anyway because you don't have a plane that costs that much and not have a good insurance plan.
I wonder if that falls into the scamming section, if they feel this job should be more expensive only because the aircraft is expensive . I hope that's not why they priced how much they did.
Imagine the French receiving this request about a bullet hole in a civilian aircraft, confirming in their minds that America is just one big Wild West gunfight 24/7.
True XD
I have a buddy that taught English in a Chinese college. His students, knowing the USA only from TV and Movies think we all live like JR Ewing and run around carrying hand guns.
Atlanta falcon, I agree with you totally regarding the USA being a Wild West gunfight.. that's exactly how it appears to non Americans. . scary? and they claim to be the greatest nation? that's even more scary!!
Please explain how this incident would amount to the opposite conclusion-it’s mind-blowing that a pilot and plane are not safe, just sitting on the ramp.
A couple of questions: since you know exactly when and where this happened, had you seen or heard anything other than this video’s contents to clue you in to the fact that you’d been shot; and did you recover the round?
I’m a bit surprised that a round that has exhausted its’ velocity after being shot, and is simply falling out of the sky under force of gravity, would land Point first (because the puncture in the image looked quite round and fairly clean), and with enough force to actually pierce the actual aircraft. I’m sure u have already thought about this and probably even done the physics; all the same, to a layman like me, the obvious suggestion that this brings to mind; well it’s pretty disconcerting.
Super glad that you didn’t discover it the hard way!
Liberals
You're gonna need armor plating if you keep drug running with it.
🤣😂🤣😂
Hes captain Barry now
Yeah, that's the solution.... Just stop making guns for crying out loud.
@@nacnud_ you didn't get the joke...
Lol, he did a barrel roll escaping
Engineer: okay you need to put a piece of metal over the hole, put some rivets in it and put a bit of goo on the bottom, that will be $4000
I wish i got paid $4000 to tell people how to plug tiny holes by riveting stuff over them
The engineers wish they got paid even $2000 for that.
And when the FAA finds out that your techs used Elmer's Glue because you didn't didn't tell them what kind of goo to use they'll surely forgive you for the lost plane and crew.
Maybe the engineer is the one who fired the bullet
It's not that simple. They need to do quite a bit of analysis to determine if that portion of the body is a high stress area, calculate the skin stiffness and stress risers that would be introduced by riveting a plate on, do thermal and stress fatigue calculations to make sure there's low risk of the rivets snapping, determine how many rivets should be used, and how far apart they need to be (i.e. how big does the plate need to be), and finally there's quite a bit of documentation and regulatory paperwork to certify the repair. I would have estimated this to be way more than 10-15 hours of work for an engineer. $2000 seems reasonable for something that you need to trust never to fail, but you can't test.
@@actually5004 Or they'd just use 3M AC-730
I've heard stories from the old C-130 guys flying out of Pope AFB, would return to base and find 30-06 holes in the wings quite often. Guess farmers didn't like the planes scareing their livestock.

Should have just put an extra antenna through the hole…
How much that would cost tho?
@@kitsune9329 Get something simple like a thermometer or something else as long as it's legitimate.
@@uSS-kc7fx Yeah, i get what he is saying but i'm for real wondering "How much that would cost vs the patch?" asuming that you already bought the antenna/termometer
@@kitsune9329 Got it, in all seriousness I think the main thing to avoid is the bill for engineering. Buying a product designed to go on his model of plane could avoid this if it is a standardized procedure. Also, if it's not specialty work the labor could also be cheaper, the hole is already started lol.
@@uSS-kc7fx Oh, so you could have spent roughly the same amount of money and time but with a new function on your plane instead of basically the same plane you had before, adding the new part cost and instalation, or just a hell of a lot cheaper if you already had an standard part for that model lol
I'm really surprised that they didn't apply the patch to the interior - pressurization would tend to force the patch against the existing metal and the indentation on the exterior could be filled, smoothed, and essentially returned to its original shape.
yes and not to mention to fix one hole with 20 holes close together
Why would you believe anything in this video?
The guy claims a bullet fell from the sky and did that. It's not how bullets work. The video is a fake.
@@positronundervolt4799 where do you think bullets go after they’re shot up into the air?
@@RoflcopterV22 position is probably talking about the terminal velocity of the bullet should not have enough energy to get through the outside of the aircraft. I would guess that the bullet was not just falling from the sky, just at moderate angle and probably bit into the aircraft while traveling at above terminal velocity, assuming the shooter shot at 15-30 degrees. I assume there is a range of angles the shot could have had enough energy to puncture the aircraft, while being capable of hitting the top.
@@DraygoKorvan the chassis of the plane is composed of very light and thin aluminium, i think it would be possible for a bullet to perfurate it
Honestly, That price was 10k less than I thought it would be

I am more interested to know how it happened but who knows... although the answer is probably: Florida. Some drunk "Florida man" probably fired his gun in the air for fun and it landed on the plane.

I'm so sorry you had to experience this. But what a great testament on doing a good walk around and being observant. Not all about being a great pilot in the air but on the ground too! Good job great pilot! Respect.
I went for a intro flight with the guys at Lynn University's College of Aeronautics and on the pre-flight check the instructor said always check the surfaces for bullet holes. I thought he was kidding. Turns out he was dead serious and now this reinforces it.
I'm just glad it was not worse... Thank you for reminding us about the importance of a good and thorough pre-flight.
And indeed the stupidity of some idiot firing a bullet into the air within a built up area. This kind of action has killed many an innocent person.

Thanks for sharing, crazy cost!!!!!!!!!! Happy everything worked out for you and family.
Seriously, 6.5k for a scab patch, a tube of 8802 and a few rivets. Good thing you didn’t opt for a nicely done flush patch when you had access to both sides.
I don't work on pressurised aircraft, but from what I understand is you need minimum 2 rivets on all fuselage joins, it's what happend to that Japanese airline where the tail fell off mid-flight.
Think for that price and inside down I would have at the least expected a flush repair.
Maybe there’s a legitimate reason, but why not put the patch inside and use a tiny bit of filler to smooth over the hole outside?
@@richrdlewis6278 For small unpressurized aircraft, maybe, but with pressurized cabins you need to take the expansion and contraction of the pressure vessel over the life of the aircraft. Flush repairs may be authorized in certain areas of the fuselage but, perhaps, in this case, it was the most economical and structurally sound repair for that area.
@@a.n.7863 That bullet hole would not be left "as-is". There would be a certain amount of the skin cut/drilled out to a certain radius to relieve stress and retain structural strength in the skin. Then, some of the rivets securing the skin to that stringer would be removed and those existing holes used to secure the patch along with the ones required for the patch. You can see in the vid that it's close to a stringer and therefore was probably easier to be an external patch due to clearance issues. Cheers!
Many years ago while getting my private ticket I asked my cfi how thoroughly should i do my preflight walk around? and he answered "like your life depends on it"
It sure does!! I caught a mix of rust and water in the tanks on my plane once. They had been working on the fuel tanks erlier that day,, and stirred up a mess before I put fuel in. I sumped the tanks on the pre-flight and found so much rusty junk and water that I had to have them steam cleaned. Lucky I didn't fly without checking. I am sure the fuel flow would have stopped.
When you pre-flight an aircraft, you should ALWAYS keep in the back of your mind that if the aircraft were to crash, there would be an FAA board of inquiry that would ask you very specific questions regarding the pre-flight of that aircraft that day.
6500 for a sloppy coat of JB Weld and some rivets. Priceless.
Just like patching rust on an old beater.
I am glad I am not the only one that noticed what a shitty repair job that is!
@@robjohnson8522 - And to think they had to take the 'expertise' of the French engineers to accomplish the task. What a waste of money.
And quality checks... and pressure tests... and probably being liable if it fails... cost of people who have wages.... etc. there's always more to it. Even though it could be cheaper.
I know it's insane! Good old capitalism..
Thanks for the video. It's a great reminder for those who were not trained sufficiently about the importance. That hole could have developed into a catastrophic failure.
Personally I could never "easily" jump in my aircraft & go anywhere. I never once thought about not doing a thorough pre-flight. To me it's unthinkable not to perform every step required in the preflight checklists. But those who have a bad attitude may not.
I got my pilots license in 1984. I've also flown sailplanes & even hang gliders. Never skipped a step in a pre-flight & never even allowed myself to consider not doing one. Never. To me it's unthinkable. If it's unthinkable you'll never consider doing it.

When I was in the Air Force, I was a crew chief at Luke Air Force Base. We would occasionally find bullets impacted into the concrete out on the flightline. Locals would be shooting their guns up in the air for some reason or another and what goes up must come down. That’s what it looks like happened there. Astronomical odds, for sure, but you certainly weren’t in a 90° bank getting shot at, I guess. We occasionally found this during our morning FOD walks, right after major holidays.

@@ashsmitty2244 😊
@@amzarnacht6710 Well since you were annoying enough to be a fact-checker on a joke let me fact check you -- when intercepting other aircraft you come from above and to one side of the plane. Generally, you approach from 7 o'clock high. Then you fire down on and from slightly behind the target aircraft. I once had to patch up a plane where they shot the pilot's toe off. The shot that took off his toe came through the roof. I had to patch the top and bottom of the plane (entry and exit)
thats a possibility
That is insane! Good job on your preflight!
Imagine charging $4k to say "Yeah you just need some rivets, some epoxy, and a metal plate... Yeah no shit.
Ikr
Imagine telling a WWII-era mechanic that he'd have to wait for a 'Repair Solution' from France, before he could patch up a bullet hole.
I was flabbergasted by the engineering costs too but then again, I get why it is that way. It’s all about liability, the engineering itself amounts nowhere near that
@@pincophr1393 that engineer charged for combat pay.
Armchair engineering guess: probably involved some modelling to make sure that the patch would be pressure tight, maintain skin strength of the panel, would be reliable for the life of the aircraft, etc.
The sad part is the “engineering” bill. Thats a standard scab patch used on a “pressurized” or “wet” area. There was NOTHING about that fix that warranted that big of a bill. FYI.....that “gel coating” is fuel tank sealant.
That's an ugly repair job. The patch isn't pretty and they didn't even bother to paint the sealant on top or even bother to tape off for the sealant on the bottom. However, they did get an official repair scheme from the manufacturer which is worth a bit more than the ole 43-13.
That engineering bill probably included several weeks worth of analysis to make sure that the standard repair technique will be strong enough. Rules of thumb and standard practice can be enough for many mechanics and technicians, but when you ask an actual engineer to sign off on a solution they actually have to do the calculations and modeling to make sure it will work. You can argue with whether an engineered solution is needed all day long, but engineering does have a fair amount of labor involved.
Yup. Prc aka ass in a can lol
@@ZachSwena Might have taken a couple of days at most at the OEM, if they didn't already have a repair scheme for damage to that area.

My brother works for Boeing in Seattle repairing bullet holes in planes. They ship fuselages from Wichita by train and along the way people shoot them. They had kevlar blankets they put on them BUT this only encouraged people to use bigger caliber guns. On average he says they have something like 40 bullet holes but have had whole fuselages totalled because it had over 1000.
In a pressurized aircraft, anything in the pressure vessel requires engineering evaluation and approval. Strength is only a small part of the evaluation. How will the repair affect the stress loading on skin and nearby structure. How will the change affect cycle fatigue of the structure and if so what is the expected life before failure. How resistant is the repair to damage. Cycle fatigue and stress loading on pressurized aircraft is extremely important. Cycle fatigue is very difficult to detect and can become apparent only when it fails, sometimes catastrophically. Example, Aloha Airlines Flight 243.
Considering they put a hole for the antenna as well, bigger than the bullet hole, not much will effect the fix.
@@biggils8894 Well the hole for the antenna is designed into the aircraft. The bullet hole, however, was not.
true, but the repair made shows that it really makes no issue, with such a small hole and in the location it was to just patch it with a piece of fuselage metal (I hope) and rivet it all the way.
so.. 6K for that, its insane
BUT not as insane as WHY is there a bullet in there_???
@@totilsom The bullet hole was there because America. The repair cost 6k because you can't just patch something that critical on an aircraft designed to carry passengers at altitude. Sure if you get a hole in your little 172 just throw a little Sika flex on there and call it a day, but a hole in the pressure hull of an aircraft used in a commercial role? Hell no, you need to make sure that patch will not only hold the pressure, but prevent any stress fractures resultant from the bullet hole from propagating and turning your plane into the next Aloha Airlines 243
The cost to repair that bullet hole was the same cost of my truck. Insane!
Appreciate the video man!
I used to work at mercedes benz of pompano - right by the air park. (And that terrible neighborhood) We were up on the roof looking at the ac units and it was incredible how many bullets were laying around up there. I guess they just shoot up in the air all the time.

One of my former colleagues was one of the first army investigators (CID) assigned to Vietnam (yes, that was a _long_ time ago). His first case was similar to this. A soldier, partying with some buddies in an encampment, fired a shot into the air, almost straight up. The round came back down and struck another soldier sitting in a group watching a film (if I recall correctly) a few hundred feet away. That soldier died instantly. I worked a very similar case about 20 years later when a bullet (seemingly from nowhere) came down and penetrated the hood of a truck parked at a vehicle repair shop. _Never_ fire a bullet unless you are certain about what you're going to hit.
Lol, bullets only fall at terminal velocity, nice try.
@@camojoe83 I have 27 years in government law enforcement and forensics experience, so you'll forgive my not bowing to your presumed expertise.

I think Mythbusters did a disservice to this myth when they tested it because they only considered one type of bullet (a round nosed FMJ pistol bullet). Different types of bullets with different aerodynamic charactertistics have different terminal velocities and fall at different speeds. And if the bullet is fired in an arc rather than straight up and down, it will carry the horizontal component of its movement throughout its flight.
@@singleproppilot Correct, on both counts.

Firearms expert Julian Hatcher studied falling bullets in the 1920s and calculated that . 30 caliber rounds reach terminal velocities of 90 m/s (300 feet per second or 186 miles per hour). A bullet traveling at only 61 m/s (200 feet per second) to 100 m/s (330 feet per second) can penetrate human skin.
That's some next level stuff.

@@banzaiib Giving him the bird.
It should be a good reminder to everyone about how much care should be exercised when using a firearm! A terrible impost for you but a very careful pre flight and an Eagle Eye was a real Blessing for you Stevo!
Pretty good shooting.
I had a neighbor of mine tell me recently that he shoots his guns up in the air...And I told him not to do it because it is very dangerous and that a bullet falling down from the sky can kill someone. And we argued and he basically said I was full of crap. Well you can not fix stupid.
The worst part of this, is if he ever does cause harm and it's linked back to him, he'll cry "I didn't know this was possible!".
Your neighbor is both right and wrong.
He is right in the case of small caliber bullets like BB's, pellets and .22 calibers slow down more significantly when falling because you can't use just the standard equations. For small objects the dynamic viscosity of the "fluid", which is the air, has to be taken into account This in effect gives you a larger Coefficient of drag for smaller objects even though they are the same shape. On the other hand.....A large bullet like a 7.62 or 50 caliber looks like it can reach over 500 feet per second when free falling before it reaches terminal velocity. That can easily penetrate the skull and kill a person.
In the Middle East there have been many cases where they shoot into the air with AK's in celebration of something and end up with fatalities.
I had a shotgun pellet land on my coat sleeve during duck season in a marsh near New Haven, CT. It was literally a slight tap.
@@sj6404 Explain what happened to this plane then.
@@sj6404 So you are saying that taking a 150mph .45 slug to the head cant kill you? Is that what you're saying? Because it can and has. Its still dangerous even if it isnt as lethal as being shot.
Far less than I was expecting but when it's a cost that should not have been incurred at all, that makes it feel much worse. That cost plus the cost of the annual means that 1TB is feasting on cash right now! I'm just glad that SteveO is thorough on his pre-flight and safe!
@Sig Bauer $90k was likely far more than just an annual. I’m betting that included HSI which likely included some repairs. A PT6 is typically $60k for HSI.
@Sig Bauer wierd way to flex
@Sig Bauer those are rookie numbers you gotta pump those up
Don't forget, they have hull insurance. Minus deductible, I"m sure.
Agreed, I was like that's....it? Seems suspiciously cheap
Good that you are very meticulous with your pre-flight checks, I'm not if every pilot check his plane roof.
Regarding the bullet, that will be easy to determine from where it was shoot, I believe police use a technique called planimetric.
Damn, my friend! Good catch
Glad to hear that the repair costs were tolerable. Actually, It was a *lot* cheaper than I expected; I had expected it to run about $30-50K with $10K for labor alone, with the upper skin piece being replaced from seam to seam, 3'x6', instead of being patched.
OMG! That's horrible! Thank goodness nobody was injured, or killed.
Back in the day when SWA used to fly 73s into Deeetroit City Airport, (KDET) since renamed 'The Coleman A. Young International Airport and Galactic Spaceport' (They love their titles in 'da D) Longest runway 5,092 ft. Most international flights are from Windsor, Ontario, across the river seeking Customs clearance. Pilots used to complain about bullet holes in the vertical stabilizer after landing over the houses on runway 15. I don't recall whether any rounds pierced the passenger compartment. My son lived in Grosse Pointe Park a block and a half from Detroit's East Side and got a new year's round lodged in his rear window. Fortunately it didn't cost $6,000 to get it replaced.
BTW, that's a standard scab patch. The Airframe mechanic should not have needed to consult with the engineers. I could have knocked that out in about 4 hours, $300 in materials and then a cure time. They went a little overboard with the sealant on the inside and painted it before doing the edge seal, probably so they wouldn't have to paint it after the cure check. Solid work, though.
Giving a like just for "Shoot to Thrill" - great song Steveo!
what band is doing that cover?
Indeed.
@@Lerxstification sounds like LIVE AC/DC to me.
I can imagine the engineers faces in france.. "a bullet hole" o_o
probably not that surprised since it happened Florida
" ahhh typical americans * takes drag from cigarette * "
@@frankieM_ ignorant clown
Plenty of these planes in Africa get shot at. You’d know that if you weren’t so smug and ignorant.
@@sqwk2559 i dont remember asking or really caring
Wow a bullet hole Wow the cost of repair . Safe flying Regards Paul
Shit, sorry about that. You see Clyde here was learning gun safety and he was being silly with his shotgun and I sent him back to the truck. I can reassure you there will be no more funny business from Clyde sir.
God damn you I forgot about that video till just now, have a good day
4K to come up with the great idea of putting on a patch lol
its 4k for having the insurance that the people coming up with a patch are highly qualified aeronautical engineers that will go to prison if they fuck up. Honestly as far as this kind of stuff can cost it seems reasonable, they are run of the mill repairs that cost more on some cars... I'm sure having the local mecanic fixing it would be cheaper in the short run but it just might cost you your life in the long run and your family would have nobody to point out to the insurance.
Tapping with a hammer………………….. $2.00
Knowing where to tap…………………….. $9,998.00
The $2k version was a roll of duct tape
Gotta love all them FAA regulations and REOs
It’s only holding 1/2 a psi at the highest that small aircraft can fly a piece of duct tape could hold that.
Plane gets shot-
Steveo: makes Shoot to Thrill the video soundtrack
Ha ha!
An appropriate choice
Super glad you didn't waste time drawing the video out and just got right to showing us what we came here for
Glad you found that. Sorry that happened, Glad you were not hurt.
Damn I didn’t realize fixing a bullet hole in an airplane cost almost the same as a box of bullets that put the hole there 😂
I know
Or a sheet of plywood.
a box of bullets costs 6K?
@@jakeherring3260 getting close to that lol
Depends on how big the box is and what type of rounds are in it... but typically no.
Proves a bullet coming down in it's parabolic flight still has significant energy. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
I'm quite surprised it could cause that amount of damage.
I used to work at Oakland Airport and the Goodyear blimp would moor on the West end of the airport while it flew in and out of San Francisco bay sporting events. The pilots let me go up with them once and I even logged a bit of flight time (multi-engine!). On the ground they showed me a number of bullet holes in the blimp and said that it happens all of the time. Just be glad that you can fly faster then 10 knots and aren't such a huge target as the poor blimp guys.
The caliber of the bullet, the obvious direction with which it hit, and the energy in it to punch through the fuselage and then be captured all tell an exact story of where the shot originated. It's easy if you know where the aircraft was sitting when struck.
