Who knew?  I always thought of 'em as a shock hazard in addition to being a bunch of spare parts flying in formation.   ;D

I'd say that is one tough airplane and very lucky too!   Seen some Hughys with holes in them but never like that one---One lucky crew |:)\

WOAH ! ! !  :o  :o

Look at picture #5 with the shot up pitch link!!
I am baffled it stayed together!!

Are you sure this all happened in flight and it wasn't sitting anywhere and shot up while on the ground??

Not being there, I cannot vouch for what went down (no pun intended).  None the less, that was a darn lucky crew, regardless.
