Flight International (Learjets PHF. VA.) took off one morning from runway 05 (uncontrolled airport outside hours). Just on rotation a large Deer appears in the landing lights and whamm strikes the main gear.
A/c nose nose is about five feet high and the mains are just off the deck. Skipper brought it to a halt by the end of the runway and was critised for not continuing into the air.
Damage was extream to say the least. Hydralics gone, both wheels damaged beyond repair with the tyres grotesquely hanging off the rims, fuselarge damage and bent main gear strut!
