Unexpected Upside Down Pelican Maneuver

Incident Report: Pelican Flight Anomaly

To: Super Earth High Command
From: Helldiver RubberDuck, Field Unit

Subject: Pelican Flight Pattern Anomaly During Support Stratagem Deployment

During Level 10 Super Helldive operations, a support stratagem was deployed at my position. While inputting the required stratagem code, I verbally confirmed that I would be dropping the equipment at a designated safe zone. Upon turning back toward the deployment site, I observed the Pelican-class support craft that had delivered a mech suit to Helldiver Brasta.

Immediately after drop-off, the Pelican pilot initiated a sharp ascent followed by an uncommanded inversion of the aircraft. The Pelican proceeded to fly completely upside down while exiting the AO. Visual confirmation was made by myself and acknowledged by Helldiver Wolf, who inquired if the observation was legitimate. I confirmed that the pilot was, in fact, flying inverted. Helldiver Brasta responded only with, “Wow.”

The cause of the maneuver is unknown. Potential factors include but are not limited to:

Pilot over-enthusiasm

Temporary navigation malfunction

Severe undemocratic interference

Pelican driver showing off

No Helldivers were harmed during the event, and the mech suit was successfully delivered. However, Super Earth may wish to evaluate the pilot’s flight logs to ensure compliance with standard aerospace operation protocols.

End of Report.
FOR DEMOCRACY.
