Narrative:

Aircraft called airborne off plk requesting an IFR flight to rvs. When we checked the NAS; the only flight plan in the system was for that aircraft from rvs to pts later in the day. The pilot said he had filed both flight plans at the same time through cou FSS via telephone. We filed the plk-rvs flight plan manually for the pilot.
