freak accident
 
What African air force lost all its fighter jets - four - when a pilot was taxiing one with the canopy up, got hit in the head by a stray golf ball from a nearby course, was stunned and slumped over, steering the plane into three others, parked on the side of the taxiway?

If fromYYZ_flyer can give me the correct answer to the question I posed him a few days ago, then I'll support him for moderator. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif (fromYYZ_flyer, you don't have to have the exact answer that I have, but you have to be very close -- be sure you state your assumptions!)
