Years ago I saw a Pan Am 727-200 in MIA with what appeared to be patched bullet holes in the side. It was during the era of Iran-Contra operations in the late 1980's. The rumor was that the plane had been shot up during a management charter south of the border carrying 55 gallon drums of fuel with rifles inside destined for the Contra rebels.
