So Sport , I take this as your backdoor admission of the fact that one of our "toys" in a similar situation wouldn't "just bounce off like a bug on your car's windshield" as you've asserted in this and a couple other threads ? Nice to see you finally accept the fact that in spite of names like "Stratofortress" and nicknames like "Flying Boxcar" , these things structures are in grave peril when anything more than air & water hit them .
