Accident Brief

No. 3 Brief

Summary of No. 3 Brief dated October 1917

Major W. de Kitkag-Watney's Neuport Scout was extensively damaged when it
failed to become airborne.

The original court of Inquiry found that the primary cause of the accident
was carelessness and poor airmanship on the part of  a very experienced
pilot.

The Commandant General, however, not being wholly convinced that Major de
Kitkag-Watney could be guilty of so culpable a mistake ordered that the
court should be re-convened.

After extensive inquiries and lengthy discussions with the Meteorlogical
Officer and Astronomer Royal, the Court came to the conclusion that the
pilot unfortunately was authorized to fly his aircraft on a day when there
was absolutely no lift in the air and could not be held responsible for
the accident.

The Court wishes to take this opportunity to extend congratulations to
Major de Kitkag-Watney  on his reprieve and also on his engagement to the
Commandant General's daughter, which was announced shortly before the
accident.

Hahaha, this would have made a GREAT JAG episode.

LOL. Don't you just hate it when there is "absolutely no lift in the air"?

I guess the undue command influence just sucked the air right out of the sky.

Would that be a command vacuum then?

[Major Lord]

So the thrust of your pun is that would be a drag?
