Letter of apology

Years ago before I had my common sense removed, I worked on my brother in laws (at the time) farm. Out in the fields one day on a tractor (cue can't read and write gags) I got buzzed by 2 F111's.
Not content with buzzing me once, twice, thrice, they used me for about 30 minutes of "target" practice.

This they did for 3 days, and then when the local press turned up for the commotion, it stopped.

A week later my BiL got a letter from the US airforce from Alconbury (I think) apologising and offering to repair any damage caused.

We just chuckled and filed the letter in the B1N.

Funny how you forget things as the years roll on.
