Narrative: UPDATE Aerodrome Safety reported that the APM reported that a big storm went through Lloydminster with lots of thunder and lighting which caused a two hour power outage. The weather was so severe that it scared a horse which was on a ranch in a wooden coral about a mile or so from the airport. The horse ran or jumped the coral and because the powered fence was down, he was on the lose. The horse decided to hold up at the airport workshop (maintenance building). A farmer who was bailing hay at the airport saw the horse and tried to catch him which was how the horse got onto the runway. Both FSS personnel and the farmer called the APM. The APM Lariat in hand was able to catch the horse and lead it back to his home. Once he established who owned the horse the APM returned it to the owners. This event did not cause any interruption of air traffic although it did liven up for a while at least a rather slow Sunday at the Lloydminster Airport. The APM is still trying to get fencing through T/C ACAP funding.

He writes the best CADORS!!!

Reminds me of when a moose walked pushed over the fence in yxh a few years back. Not a safety issue, just a way to liven up a slow day in the prairies.

Narrative: UPDATE
Aerodrome Safety reported that all four events took place on Saturday the 27th and Monday the 29th of September are a direct result of airside care and control. Airport personnel and construction employees had been briefed by the APM on airside protocols, ground to ground radio communications and escort vehicles. For some reason what should have been a straight forward follow the instructions operation turned into a colossal goat dance. All of the players were re-briefed Nav Canada was also asked to sit in on the safety/plan of construction meeting and explain their roles pertaining to airside operations. This event had no air operational impact

colossal goat dance.

ROTFLMAO

Narrative: WJA 697, a B737-600 operated by WestJet, was en route Montreal to Winnipeg when the cabin crew discovered a passenger smoking in the lavatory. As the flight went on, the passenger had another cigarette, was observed rolling cigarettes in his seat and had taken his shirt off. He would only respond to French. The Captain requested that police meet the flight on arrival in YWG. The crew later suspected that the passenger was smoking marijuana. On arrival, police came on board and arrested the person. When his travel companion inquired into what was going on, that individual was also arrested. A bag of marijuana was found in the seat pocket and it was confirmed that the passenger was smoking cigarettes and marijuana on board.


Wow, Just wow.

UPDATE
Aerodrome Safety reported that the Bird and Wildlife biologist at Edmonton Intl. reported that the Snowy Owl which struck an arriving Jazz Air (Air Canada) DHC -8 was a beautiful white adult male. Airside operations personnel recovered and removed the bird, because there was no visible damage, their group plan on having the wonderful specimen mounted. This event did not cause any interruption of air traffic nor any aircraft damage.

I was there when that moose was on the loose. That was a funny day.

Not necessarily, sharing passenger names amongst carriers violates privacy laws.

Narrative: The Ontario Provincial Police reported that a resident at 11 Shore Road (Sideroad 404, across the Severn River -- water access only from Upper Big Chute Road) had called to complain that a rocket-shaped object (laden with electronics) about the size of a very large hot water heater (10 feet long) had fallen from the sky and embedded itself two (2) feet into the ground of his backyard. An investigation determined that the object is actually a towed airborne sensor drone used to determine the thickness of Arctic ice. It normally is towed by a research DC-3 aircraft operating out of Muskoka Airport. On 2008/11/05, it had been deployed the full 200 feet on a cable and, while being retracted, there was a technical difficulty and the cable broke.

[Spinner]

hmm quite the "technical difficulty"

oh well at least it wasn't a clump of lovely 'blue' water lol

Wow, Nark, what a cool-looking pipe. So, do you put the bowl where the mag goes, close the slide, and then inhale down the barrel?

[Nark]

After a long and extensive search for a great pipe, I have found that this gives me the biggest bang for my buck.





I'm here all night folks...

I am overwhelmingly flattered that Rod has written a CADOR on me! I wish he had added a little humor to make it sound better!
