10132 was involved in an air combat with Russian fighters. The aircraft was hit from the rear starboard quarter with bullets passing through the fuselage and wings, and significantly, through the radiator and one bullet went through a propeller blade - sufficient damage to require an immediate landing, but not bad enough to bale out.
