No blue screen of death, but I have had several total sectional failures
in flight.

See, I used to own an open-cockpit biplane, and if you weren't very
careful about folding/unfolding them, the wind could catch them and
they were gone. I once lost 3 copies of the same sectional on the
same flight.


Yes, one time I thought it would be handy to put the airport
information on a Post-it note stuck to the sectional (which resides on
a kneeboard). I happened to be flying that day with the Cub's window
and door open. Fshooh! Gone in an eyeblink.
