A guy shot holes in them, near Springfield Ohio, in the early 1960's, his farm was on the landing path, and made lots of noise, scared his high priced cattle. He even painted 'Rest Home' on his roof, made no difference. He used my step dad's Winchester 94, 30/30 to do this with. He told dad that he wanted it to shoot ground hogs with, ha ha. We lived on his other farm, back the same long driveway. He was a vice president, of Robbins & Meyers, in Springfield at THAT time.
Good thing is, he never hit a human, in one of those B-52's. Bad thing was, he was hitting every plane he shot at, since they wasn't more than 2000 feet up, if that. I remember coming home from school, and getting off of the bus, walking up the drive, and when I got to our farm, the driveway had more black cars in it than I could count. The FBI, and whoever else, was there, and had him arrested. He really had some problems to deal with, and did almost 0 amount of jail time, mostly physciatrical evaluations. He was allowed a bow and arrow, and cross bows only, for the rest of his life. The last time I had seen him, he was working on a high powered cross bow.
The funny thing is, in 1973, I went into the U.S.Air Force, and became a Crew Chief, on B-52's, and KC-135 airplanes, and ended up at Wright Patterson, I could fly over that farm anytime I wanted then, but never looked.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
