Wild pigs and Whooping Cranes

Whopping Cranes on ultralight led migration route

Sometimes wildlife can effect aircraft and other times aircraft effect wildlife.

In the Zimbabwe, at the Harare airport a Chinese built MA60 crashed after hitting a bush pig on takeoff. The Bush pig did not have a clue what to do when it saw the plane coming at it and the crew of the plane did not know what to do after the crash!  Crew” we did not have a clue” on how to handle the emergency after the crash. Luckily no one was killed.

On a brighter note. Whooping Cranes are raised from hatch-lings at the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge by humans dressed in crane outfits to imprint the young. The Cranes migrate to winter grounds in Florida, but since the young birds have no parents to imprint this flight route the first time, Volunteers fly ultralight aircraft over the route while the Whopping cranes follow.
