Yes.  When they overfly the LPad at the Nats.

Back "in the day", my combat flying buddy and I bet a guy he couldn't hit one of our combat planes with his shotgun.  Easiest $20.00 I ever made !  :)

RC pylon racers used to shoot down competitor all the time.  With transmitters on the same freq, not shotguns.

I had several incursions while flying at Kidventure. Had a ducted fan model of fair size come within inches of me during a demo flight. It almost got clothes lined and waffle stomped but there were little ones watching so I opted not to.
