Never had my dog eat my sectional, but I've had them blow out of the
cockpit when I had the canopy back...

I was listening to the OSH feed on LiveATC this past Sunday afternoon.
The C-54 requested to taxi to Baslers. ATC queried as to the reason. The
response, "We just had our chart sucked out the window, so we need to
get another one."

The times that I've had it happen, it was always in flight... One was
on my first trip to OSH...

It sucks having to look up at the last minute an airport's frequencies
in the AOPA airport guide or AFD instead of just seeing it on the
map...

I've never lost one while on the ground even though my canopy is
usually pulled quite a bit further back... Probably because there is
not enough wind velocity... In the air, on the other hand, I've lost a
few over the years... That's one of the reasons that I don't
necessarily throw away old sectionals... If the current one blows out,
an old one is better than none...

Now, if my LORAN database would just blow out the window so that I
could justify getting an update... grin
