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.

Haha I'm shocked im the first to say it, but from the second I saw this it looked fake. For the aircraft to be that sharp that would have to be a very short exposure, which doesn't really match the background which is clearly long (look at the moon!!!!!)!  :D
