Close Encounter With An Emu

SAFE!

Think the Emu needs to review the "hotspots" on his jepps.

Wingscrubbers comment " Maybe the emu couldn't see the hold short line for the 'f*ckin long grass' " LOL & LOL .. the best comment eva!

Well the Aussies are known for colorful language, pilots are no exception lol

As an Australian I can truly say;
1) not all Australians speak like that
2) DEFINITELY not all Australians FLY like that

BTW; if it hadn't been for his Sh!*#*ty F#*#*cken landing he WOULD have hit the emu! Full points to the emu for a slide any baseballer could be proud of LOL...

I have Emu incursions turned of in Flight Sim X.

lol runway incursion

Man, if that was the language when they didn't hit the poor sodding bird, what would it have been had they actually taken it out!

"An obvious error on the tower controller's end." The emu was the tower controller.

A very close call mate.....

i think emu shold have stayed back 500 feet

Is Head-First Slide Smart Baseball Play?
The head-first slide is faster, according to David Peters, a mechanical engineer specializing in aircraft and helicopter engineering and a professor at Washington University in St. Louis.

lol Did this bird just fall face first

An obvious error on the tower controller's end.

Emu did not hold short of runway properly...

lol - Poor Emu. :)

I liked the way the Emu dove and slid to the side of the runway! LOL! He (or she?) was sliding into Third Base and a ball of feathers and dust!

That's freakiin hilarious! Probably scared the Emu S*&t-less! Dang glad they didn't hit the SOB. I'bet it'd be hard to find an A&P guy out there!
