Floppy Chicken - When a helicopter crashes and due to electrical and/or mechanical damage the engine cannot be shut off. The heli will continue to flop around on the ground at full power breaking any parts that may have survived the original crash. Very cool to watch if it ain't yours.

That gave me an Idea.

I have added an attachment to the original post with the list in a word format. Just download and print. I will keep it up to date with the current list.

Lawn Dart Any sleek looking aircraft with a pointy nose that is likely to get good ground penetration in a crash.

Stovin or Stoved A very brutal crash where the remains resemble whit it would look like if an old cast iron stove were dropped on the aircraft. The remains are not good for much more that a few minutes of heat in a wood burning stove.

Wizard; One who steps to the plate and knocks one out of the park without being asked. All organizations have one. An idividual who does something spectacular as a community service, without expecting pats on the back. Does it because it needed to be done, not because he was promted to.

The field was a MESS! We discussed it at last Thursday's meeting and have decided to do a study and elect a comittee to see what the root cause of the problem is and do a survey about each club members thoughts. We met at the field and somebody pulled a Wizard! The field was spotless and we don't even know who did it! When asked at the next meeting, all club members were present. We asked for the member who stepped to the plate to raise a hand and be noticed,,,nobody raised a hand.

That my friends is a Wizard. One of the highest honors one can receive.
