Shotgun
and don't think its never been done.
I tried that as a last resort to getting my Yak down. Shot both wings off, and the plane just lodged itself propeller first in a crook in the tree...its still there after about 6 months, at least 50 feet up.
After flying that CMP Yak with the fiberglass fuselage a few times, I figured the best place for it was in a tree, so I decided to leave it.
