You're flying along in a formation with your buddies and [emeril]BANG![/EMERIL] you're flying over some ancient landscape with dinosaurs growling at you.
You run out of gas, crash and die--either by falling into an open magma pit or by getting eaten.
You find yourself back at tower, up again, and take up the same flight path. Somehwere, not far from where you vanished the first time, a collection of really old looking airplane parts. Sure, in the real world they would have been reclaimed by the earth in the intervening years, but hey, this would be more fun, right?
