Zone 1: England
Good weather
Htismaqe is bringing in a plane whose tail is in tatters – severely damaged rudder, inoperable elevators, and damaged control cables. The flight in is uncomfortable as the plane weaves and drifts. Htismaqe brings it in, bounces roughly, brings it down again, and then runs the plane off the side of the runway since his brakes aren’t fully operable. Flyin’ Doublewide bounces to a very rough landing, but is no worse the wear for it.
Aftereffects
None
Eligible for next mission

Ten hits to the tail and KC Dan doesn’t’ even need a band-aid. Let’s hope the luck continues.
