Air Force Catastrophe

[zarakand]

Quite likely this one is true. It's from the ever entertaining Uncle John's Bathroom Reader about Benin country in Africa the size of Pennsylvania.

"Benin a small nation in Africa, doesn't have a golf course, but that didn't deter Mathieu Boya. He would routinely practice driving balls in a field adjacent to the Benin Air Base, until one day in 1987 when his ball struck a gull, which then fell into the open cockpit of a jet taxiing the runway, which caused the pilot to loose control, which caused the plane to barrel through the other four Mirage fighter jets sitting on the tarmac...which wiped out the entire Benin Air Force."
