You mean like this: A pilot has died after the plane he was flying as part of a gender reveal party in Mexico crashed on Sunday. Video posted online shows the plane releasing pink smoke as it flies over a couple waiting in front of a sign that reads “Oh baby,” surrounded by pink and blue balloons.Sep 5, 2023 But there was no gun. As far as I know. ---

As far as I know. There is no video that I can find to post, but that does remind me of a certain scene in the movie “Always” (1989). Something something… John Goodman in a lawn chair… and the drop of a load of pink dyed water that was supposed to measure how close “water-bomber” pilots could get to hot spots in forest fires. Again, no gun. Which might explain why John Goodman didn’t kill him… ---
