Sorry, ma. Gotta lay this one at the instructors now deceased feet....always stand behind the firing line. Had he followed that, the 30 rounds would have been spent when the barrel went vertical.
Now for the funny...the joint is called the “Last Stop”...it’s the ONLY stop between Boulder Dam, and Kingman, AZ. And there is a public airstrip 100 yards down range of the machine gun berms;-)
Green Flag!

Luckily the airstrip (AZ50) is “Prior Permission Required”

Hopefully landing permission comes with a gun range warning...:^)
