Bad Gnus Bring Down Airplane

[Stephanie B]

A Safarilink de Havilland Dash 8-200, registration 5Y-SLM performing scheduled flight #1 from Nairobi Wilson to Maasai Mara Kichwa Tembo (Kenya), landed at Kichwa Tembo Airstrip in westerly direction at about 11:00L (08:00) but collided with a number of gnus (also known as Wildebeests) causing the left main gear to collapse and separate from the aircraft, the left propeller impacted ground ejecting one blade, and the aircraft veered left off the runway. There were no injuries, the aircraft sustained substantial damage. (http://avherald.com/h?article=4cba1326&opt=0)

That should buff right out. That’s some “Beastly” damage.😜

No gnus is good gnus.

This is also why it's a bad idea to allot the better portion of your will to beasts.

Were those black Gnus? If they were they should be restricted somehow.:(

When gnus are outlawed, only outlaws will have gnus.

(BTW, I think your dyslexic line of humor has a lot of promise. Tub tahw od I wonk?)

Well.

I’ll look at our current Customer malfunction list but I am pretty sure we don’t have gnu strike. Bird strike, yes.

Sometimes it takes a while for the gnus to make it around the world...

I gnu a guy :p that hit a huge whitetail with an F27 at Peoria, IL back in the early 90’s. Being it was an F27, nothing much happened to the airplane. Someone presented him with one of those little Rudolph lapel pins that had a blinking LED for a nose. He proudly wore that on his London Fog overcoat for years...

Birds took out another Airbus this week. A flock of seagulls according to the news.

FIFY.

gnu?






NU

interjection
Nu is defined as a Yiddish expression of agreement, or is used to ask a simple question instead of using words such as "well" or "so."
An example of nu used as an interjection is when you say "Nu?" to ask why something that you have just been told is important.

Orange man says fake gnus.

It's the top trending story in Canada's Gnufoundland

Dash-8's have a record number of MLG collapsing.

You'd think they did it on porpoise.

Sometimes bad gnus can really be a downer.

Reminds me of my favorite jet-engine testing story.

The only thing that stops a bad plane with a gnu is a good plane with a gnu

Kudu add a gnu one beforyx too late?

Pilot's lucky to be alive...those were assault gnus...you can tell by the shoulder thing that goes up.

I've had some crazy Dash 8 landings on remote strips in Canada. If you're gonna crash, having fresh meat isn't a bad thing.

[beenalongtime]

How long until I see Microsoft, blaming Richard Stallman and Gnu users for taking down this plane?

We were just there last month. I even have pictures of that airstrip from a distance. The gnus were everywhere and would run out in front of our Land Cruiser. They are truly dumber than deer on pavement.

ETA: I have pictures of the Keekorok Airstrip. I guess when you've seen one dirt strip you've seen them all. :)

This thread is a lot better than the Hernia Thread. But hey, who would have gnu that!
