What happens if lightning strikes and both lead and wingman crash?
A. No problem. The current baton holder may restart the leg or abort the leg as per the normal rules. If the leg is eventually completed (by someone with the baton – lead or wing) to the same destination in a class-eligible aircraft, then all the participating pilots’ authenticated legs will count toward the bonus. This is true even if those legs were completed before the successful pilot took off. If one of the scoring pilots subsequently carries the baton (in relief of the initial baton pilot), his scoring leg is voided. The team may substitute another valid leg in its place.
