Then we lost electrical power coming back to the air field and had to land in some rural airstrip because we couldn't contact the ATC tower.
that sounds exciting at least

Anarcho-Commie Air Force when?
jumping out of a plane, deploying a parachute, then stacking up into a formation so we can vote on who's in charge when we hit the ground
An Anarchist fleet of Consolidated Commodores also known as the Anarcho-Commodores :kelly:
