The link was to a UPI article. right rudder was a few characters shorter than right horizontal stabilizer- and everyone knows that the rudder is at the back of the airplane, and and elevators are in tall buildings- perhaps in that era, reporter or editor was thinking of a Connie ??

And vertical fins are only on large fish like sharks !
