Dennis,

It sounds like tail number 16583 was cursed no matter what ship it was printed on. Of course nobody who flew would believe in that sort of stuff. The reason most ships had a hard time getting off the ground was because of all the rabbit's foots and St. Chris medals that the crews had in their pockets.

Did the incident report have the other ship number? No big deal,but I was just wondering how many double numbers might be out there.
