Bomber....
During a time and place far far away....a AH-1G Cobra took a hit from a SA-7 missle that removed the entire tail boom and related bits.....the crew (despite being at altitude) survived the incident. The aircraft remained right side up but spun like a top as I recall. One of the pilots is flying in the GOM today.....everytime I see him I touch his shoulder hoping some of his good fortune will rub off on me.
Some very good accounts are around about 412's that shed TRGB's.....some guys actually survived the events....though most do not.
