I was in the arena w/the SmPizza map last night fighting a P-47N in a valley near a VB. I was beating the snot out of him when all of a sudden the canyon wall jumped out in front of me
I hit the wall and the next thing I knew I was eye level with the terrain up on the flats 3-4 sectors away.
I hit .ef and it said I must be stopped to exit flight.
I hit enter 3 times then .ef and it said I must be stopped to exit flight.
I hit the spacebar (brakes) then .ef and it said I must be stopped to exit flight.
All this time I could look around and could see dots flying (moving) in the distance.
Finally, just as I was about to try alt-F4 I was back in the tower, half the text buffer instantly filled with the last message being that XXX has shot you down, You have been killed.
[EDIT] It was the north canyon wall west of (I think) V34 that I hit and it sent me 3-4 sectors north and west.
