On another thread "Alaska 737 hits deer". And yet on another,"Spice Jet hits boar" and to add to all the carnage, on 4th December THY 1450 737-800, Porto to Ataturk Istanbul, hits dog on 05/23. It is reported that dog came off worse and aircraft was back in service in a jiffy after a quick wash and wax. What next, a white elephant perhaps?

Many moons ago in Africa (naturally) a herd of giraffe crossed the runway and a rather lucky pilot of a small aircraft managed to survive by steering between two of the offending beasts at around 12 feet, decapitating both with one wing each thus maintainig direction and landed heavily straight ahead.The aircraft was a writeoff but the pilot walked away. The condition of his underwear was not reported.
