## Discrepancy

UPON LANDING, AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL .8 HR NIGHT FLIGHT.  PILOTS REPORTED THAT THE RT WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED HALF WAY AROUND.  AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CRACK WAS LIMITED TO THE OUTER PAIN.  A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT WAS OBTAINED AND THE PLANE WAS RELOCATED TO A SERVICE CENTER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE WINDSHIELD.
