"Mortimer Schnerd, RN"
Paperwork for who? I had a situation where I had rolled a T-34B and while
I was inverted, apparently got something stuck in the controls. The stick
was jammed partway to one side. It took a lot of effort on the stick
along with mucho rudder to keep the aircraft straight and level. I of
course immediately declared an emergency.

As it turned out, the landing was uneventful except for all the fire
trucks that followed me down the runway and taxiways. Thank God the stick
was still stuck when one of the emergency bigwigs tried it, because
shortly after that the obstruction amazingly disappeared after some
manipulation.

I don't recall having to do any paperwork at all, ouside of a note to
maintenance suggesting they really go over the control system before
anybody else flew it.
