"ACA 256, an Air Canada A320, struck a rabbit on departure at Winnipeg. No operational impact to flight operations; significant consequences for the rabbit.. "

 

 

 

heheh, no kidding...

The dreaded Rabbit Strike.

[twinstar_ca]

according to CADORS, it's only dreaded if you're the wabbit!!!! :lol:

[BrokenSpiral]

This reminds me of the Jeff Foxworthy joke about hitting a deer with a 747...

Actually, I think this one might be even better:

 

Cadors Number: 2010C3058

 

"A U.S. registered amateur built aircraft landed at Burwash and the pilot made no contact with the CARS O/C on the airport mandatory frequency. The pilot stopped the aircraft mid-field, relieved himself on the runway (without authorisation), got back in the aircraft and departed to the east."

That exact scenario played out in about '98 as the CARS operator and I drank coffee.... I was stunned, but there you have it.

 

Another time a twin Beechcraft landed in Dawson City from Anchorage, the pilot jumped out and the CARS operator welcomed him to "Dawson City," he stopped in his tracks. "DAWSON CITY?????" he screeched, "this ain't Dawson Crick???" He'd entered the wrong "Dawson" in the Gps, also in the '90s. Just a little wide and ride folks.... Ball One.

At least with the GPS he found an airport. He must have though he had one **** of a tailwind wrong direction not withstanding. When I lived in Whitehorse in the mid 70s there used to be a constant stream of a/c all summer following the Alaska Highway. Some of them were so decrepit you wouldn't want to do a circuit in them much less fly from Dog-meat Arkansas to Nome, Alaska. Of course some of them would turn right at Watson Lake and start up the Campbell Highway by mistake. The smart ones returned to Watson Lake and went the correct way. The others tried to go cross country and some were never seen again.

Slung a few of those!

I lived in Ancorage in the 80's. In a hot summer every mountain pass in the area would reveal misadventures of the past. The Alasakan Air Guard would take an Aircrane and salvage the remains.

Ahhhhhh....

 

"Flying with Americans" stories, it warms the heart and brings back fond memories. ;-)
