Wonder if it's real. I would think a cow would have sufficient mass to alter the course of the plane and cause some damage if it got knocked over like that.

Used to work for a guy that flew DC-3s (C-47). He had an engine failure on takeoff (all too common) and plowed into a heard of moo cows in a pasture. After recovering and repairing the airplane, it was forever named, “Hamburger Helper”

A classic case of ‘cow tipping’.

I had no idea the sexuality of the plane had anything to do with this, let alone that planes had gender. /Latella

Cessna 310 cow strike, Oct. 1975:

My family farmed corn/soybeans/hay/...and Angus cattle. My dad was also a small time corporate/charter pilot. Besides hangering the aicraft at an airport 12 miles away, we had a grass strip on the farm that was in the middle of a corn field. Sometimes Dad would land at the farm in darkness, lining up with some of the neighbors barnyard lights.

After harvesting the corn in that field, we would let the cows in for a couple of weeks to glean what the combine missed. So, one night, with a few low passes to one side of the rwy, each pass being closer laterally, stirring up the cows that had camped on the grass for the night. They got up and moved the opposite way; all except for a straggler that had been way off beyond where the passes started (black Angus blend in well with the darkness).

I was home, hopped on the motorcycle, and went to see if there were any stragglers, but couldn’t get there in time. Dad landed, and on rollout, there she came running right to left in front of him. The rt prop struck her and she tumbled under the plane, in between the nose and rt main gear. The prop was bent some, and the spinner dented; could’ve been a lot worse.

Dad taxied it on one engine to the area we kept fenced off with temporary electric fence, and promptly jumped in the pickup to go check the cow. She was up walking with a limp, a cut tendon on a back leg, and no tail at all. Dad was really mad at himself; his cows were more than a way of income. To him, they were almost pets. She became hamburger.

A few months later, the boss bought a newer 310 w/weather radar. The radome was black, and the local airport linecrew teased dad, saying: “look! Ben’s got a plane with a cow bumper on it!”

Looks faked to me . . . especially the background.

The clincher for me: pilot takes the back seat, passenger rides up front in a taildragger. These two jokers are the other way around.

A pilot buddy tipped me off on this video a couple of weeks ago. Too much!
