Bull bar blitz: rural drivers fined

It is surprising what finds its way onto airstrips.
After the jumping fellows its Cows, Donkeys and the odd Camel.:eek:
The latter are usually very unlikely to have close encounter with as they tend to not bound aimlessly into your path. I had a mob of cattle emerge from the scrub one day just after we came to stop. They didn't even pay attention to me!

Anyway back to topic- bullbars yay:cool:

:):o:D;):confused: Sorry wrong post

Nobody was seriously injured, the plane was a writeoff, and the horse ended up in the mission freezer - much to the distress of the DCA investigator who arrived the next day.

A few weeks earlier I had travelled in that plane to and from the airstrip involved!

In NZ a few sheep, but then you just buzz them into a cnr and thay sort of stay.
buzed a couple of sheep in a DH89. a bit hot and a bit heavy on the stick, poped a couple of inspection plates, under side of the top wing.
