Doing hi-angle strafe and letting go a burst at 7,000'?
That's WAY hi-angle.
Possible he was in the pattern and put the switch to arm and it cooked off.
3.5 miles ain't that far. . .is it? I admit not shooting the 20mm a/g, but for my A-10 we strafed out to 12,000'. . .and it was aimed, not lofting bullets.
Even a .22 has warning about bullets flying up to a mile away, and a 20mm might reach that far from 7,000'. . .nose up or not.
Thoughts?

No, I was just suggeting a climb, not a strafe.
