DEADLY FIRE:

This Mavis is going down looks like its taking hits from fifty caliber rounds, starboard wing already on fire.
The fifty can do a lot of damage to thin skinned aircraft aluminum, with multiple bursts using tracer, incendiary and armor piercing into the fuselage, cockpit, fuel tanks and engines besides killing the crew.
