RE: King Air vs. Rudolph
do you get charged with hunting illegaly for that? if people can sue for millions 'cause they got fat on burgers, maybe the prosecutors chould convince the jury that he was waiting for a deer to cross the runway to chop it up?

Spaceclam,
The prosecutors will only have a good case if they make up a rhyme for the accident. hmmm, maybe something like "the deer was filled with fear, and had nowhere to veer!" Juries only give the desired verdicts when presented with a cute little rhyme they can understand.[sm=biggrin.gif]

I used to work on King Airs and the engine will have to be changed due to sudden stoppage. The blades are aluminum and will have to be scrapped. The hub will also more then likely will be scrapped too. As for holding the prop. In temps below -40 degrees you have to place the blades against an immovable object (tug) and start the engine and let it warm up first.

Nice job on the plane, but there is no blood pooling around the deer, which obviously there should with that kind of trauma, got me for a minute.

I hope the PETA people don't see that. Since it was government plane they'd get off scott free anyway- rhyme or no rhyme.
You should post it as "How to field dress a deer in 4.2 seconds!"

I am glad to see the pilot wasn't at full speed in take-off and hit the deer head on. That could have been devastating to the crew as well. Well, if it was Rudolf, it could have been a mid-air crash.

hmm sort of reminds me of that mandatory video about propellars i had to watch getting my training to fly on C-130's .. watched a poor italian aircrew member walk out the crew door and right into a spinning prop... lets just say that it looked pretty similar to those pics..[&o] that deer never knew what happend. thats just crazy tho.[:'(]

na.. not just the pizzons.. im sure there have been a few more.. but the vid was to ensure that you give them the appropriate level of respect and instill the correct amount of fear. and yes.. it was not a very nice thing to see the first day of formal training. that is why they have stringent rules and regulations.

i was wondering. at first look in the small picture, it really looked like a rabbit. later, i "clicked for full size" and saw hooves. in the small picture, it didn't look like a full scale plane either. it looked like a very well built model.

Why not just fess up and admit you looked, but were so awestruck by the carnage that you didn't notice some of the details?

because it looked like a rabbit at first, i noticed that it had hooves after i clicked on it, and while i was looking through the pictures i noticed a ministy of health sticker.
