The Elusive Rudder.
By Mike Phillips
6/22/2006 10:16:16 AM
During a combat session, Doug and Mike colided, a nasty midair for Doug, Mikes plane survived with minor repair however, Doug's plane suffered MAJOR damage as it always does when it "touches" another airplane.
Doug searched for hours for peices of his plane and was never able to find the rudder. Strange as it was, his rudder kept popping up in all kinds of places and we just couldnt shake it, if doug were there and not hiding at a jam session, we could have given it to him. We had to document the rudder, as it kept trying to "be found".
  
   
    
Finally getting enough of the rudder, we tossed it down the drain, that way it would never make another appearance. Doug, please make sure you get all your peices of all your broken airplanes so we dont have to go through this again.
