Shot at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Aircraft was to be used for ballistic testing....getting shot by various sized rounds in senstive places. During a pre-test ground run....encountered ground resonance due to being chained to the ground. There is also a side view video of the same event which is even better to watch.

Actually it was a test of one of the new inflatable rubber helicopters intended for E&E purposes.
The problem was that they'd left it out in the sun for too long.
(actually it reminds me of a car that I used to own
