It can't have been thrown outward due to centrifugal force, as that force would have been exerted equally in all directions. I do however suspect that impact with a blade of the prop would have made it a home run in one direction or the other. Questions is, did he even know it had happened, prior to landing and noticing the uglies? Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul M.
