YouTube - Cow Hit By Landing Plane

**ConRadical** · 12-20-2008, 08:35 PM

WOW!

zoomer260 · 12-20-2008, 08:43 PM

Yup. And he saw it before he hit it and did not abort but tried to "hop" it. Crazy. He mighta bruised my steak. Otherwise he certainly ruined the milk.

I would advocate for the poor cow but I'm a realist on that one. My favorite food is dead cow in fact, had it tonight, seared 3 minutes on each side and DONE.

Still pretty sloppy on the pilots part, he has a passenger in the front seat.

yeah, the passenger must have been sh*ting themselves!!!!

Story here,, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28284759/

LONDON - The pilot of a vintage biplane says he ran into an unusual hazard while making an emergency landing — a cow.
Rob Wotton says he was trying to land his World War II-era Tiger Moth after the engine stalled just after takeoff southwest of London on Sept. 14. He was about to touch down in a field when the animal wandered into his way.
An onboard video camera shows the brown-and-white cow being knocked to the ground by the plane's lower left wing. The two-seater was damaged but landed safely.

"I had to put the aircraft down straight away and spotted a likely field where I could see there were cows. They were all on my right hand side except one on my left. I narrowly missed a fence and touched down and then the silly cow ran across to join her mates on the other side of the field," Wotton was quoted as saying in the Telegraph newspaper.
"I clipped her and she went rolling away but seemed unhurt and carried on grazing. The aircraft was very slightly damaged."
Wotton and his passenger were also unhurt.
Wotton says he might paint a cow on the plane to mark the event. "I have to say it is the first cow I have ever hit in 22 years' flying."

That guy was dumb. I think maybe he had a few hits of acid and thought he was at a Pink Floyd concert or something.

sweetpea · 12-20-2008, 10:35 PM

So the guy is deadstick and trys to land and a cow runs infront of the plane......how is this dumb? He did what he had to to land the plane and save both him and the passenger.

I see folks at the R/C field deadstick all the time plow into fences, trees, the pits and anything else you could name.

It was cool to see the aileron bump up though.

I doubt the cow "walked" in front of the plane. The pilot did what he had to do, but I still wouldn't want to take a ride with that guy.
