1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

The Soviets began the blockade of Berlin that then turned into the 24 hour flight service.
Basically the Cold War took off.
