British pilot hits cow during emergency landing. Poor cow. Your thoughts?
Wed Dec 17, 9:04 pm ET
LONDON – A British pilot said he ran into an unusual hazard while making an emergency landing — a cow. Rob Wotton said he was trying to land his World War II-era Tiger Moth after the engine stalled just after takeoff southwest of London on Sept. 14. He was about to touch down in a field when the animal wandered into his way.
Video of the event on YouTube shows the brown-and-white cow being knocked to the ground by the plane’s lower left wing. The two-seater was damaged but landed safely.
An accident report said the cow was “apparently uninjured.”
Wotton said he might paint a cow on the plane to mark the event.
He says: “I have to say it is the first cow I have ever hit in 22 years’ flying.”
Edit:
PETA will probably be all over this story. ( o _ 0 ) Bovines aren’t the smartest creatures but still……..

I am sure PETA will move to ban airplanes now.
