Why don't they put those hypesonic or ultrasonic deer sound makers on the planes, then!
One of the little commuter planes hit two deer on our local runway a couple of years ago. This is in Arizona.
Plane took a week to fix, no one (except the two deer) was injured.
I wonder what happened to his feet?
How and the world do they know they got the right deer? Sheesh.
Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration, and it was shortly before Christmas when the FAA examiner arrived. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order.The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolph’s nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa’s weight and balance calculations for the sled’s enormous payload.
Finally, they were ready for the checkride.
Santa got in, fastened his seatbelt and shoulder harness, and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa’s surprise, a shotgun.
“What’s that for?” asked Santa incredulously.
The examiner winked and said, “I’m not supposed to tell you this, but you’re gonna lose an engine on takeoff.”
A site I will never forget. It covered the plane and passengers had to get off with chunks dripping everywhere.
Stored for future dining by a cougar?
Florence of all places ping.
***near miss***
My pet peeve. I hate this term. If you aim to hit and miss, it is a miss, or a near hit, not a "near miss".
A "near miss" is if you aim to miss and hit.

There was a website that had photos of strange on the job accidents. The photos of the deer were included. It seems the deer was hit by a train. The photographer is standing on the railroad embankment. That also explains why the deer's feet are gone. The train sheared then between the track.
