Cessna Citation 550 strikes deer on runway, catches fire and burns
GREENWOOD, SC – A huge plume of smoke that could be seen over two miles away billowed into the air after a plane crashed at the Greenwood County airport Saturday igniting several acres of grass and brush and destroying the aircraft. According to the pilot Gene Gunnin, the Cessna Citation 550 aircraft had just touched down when it struck the deer. "A deer ran out on the runway upon landing" said Gunnin. "It went under the left wing and struck the left landing gear." (www.gwdtoday.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

Wildlife On Runway Causes Problems For Bizjet Crew
A Citation II registered to the U.S. Customs Service landing at Greenwood County Airport (KGRD) in Greenwood, SC, came out the worse for wear after striking a deer that had strayed onto the runway. Fortunately, the two flight crew members who had been conducting a post-maintenance test flight managed to escape uninjured from the airplane, which was "substantially consumed" by a post-accident fire, according to the preliminary report from the NTSB

A mesa Beech1900 hit a bunch of deer and the port side propeller came through the cabin missing everyone.
I guess its human season and the deer are out in force.
Who said they were innocent furry animals that cant protect themselves. I'm going to learn to hunt so I can protect human kind LOL

I live in Missouri. We cull the herd every year and the number of deer per square mile is estimated to be between 9 and 30 depending on what part of the state you live in. I started hunting deer about 12 years ago and look forward to my time in the woods every year. Unfortunately I live in the part of Missouri were there are about 9 deer per square mile. I got a great shot opportunity with my bow this year. Got the pre-shot jitters and missed. Our local airport CGI sees more coyotes than deer.
Here in the Southeast we have a HUGE problem wiht deer over population. Yet so called wildlife experts refuse to allow special hunts to cull the heard.
Therefore,accidents such as this will continue to occur. As the white tail deer population continues to explode, these collisions will become more frequent.
Luckily it's just an aircraft. It could have resulted in the loss of human life.
Unacceptable.

Vengeance is mine saith the deer!
