Coyotes at Chicago's O'Hare cause delays
Clip:
CHICAGO - Two planes preparing to land at O'Hare International Airport aborted their landings after another pilot spotted coyotes near the runway, the Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday. The flights, operated by United and American airlines, did "go- arounds" and landed safely on their second attempts on Sunday, said FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro. The pilots were about a quarter-mile from O'Hare with their landing gear down when they were warned, Molinaro said. The pilot of a flight landing ahead of them saw the coyotes and alerted controllers.

O'Hairy, with the trees on site for shelter and enough areas warmed in winter by man's engineering works to make coyote comfortable, is prime hunting ground (and likely supports fox, too). Actually, the conservationists could probably plant a wolf or two. I'm confident that descendants of the Navajo's "Trickster" and Hanna Barbera's "Wiley Coyote" can avoid the occasional Boeing or Airbus landing, and slink low enough to the ground not to be ingested as FOD by some whirring turbine on takeoff.

Foxes are routinely tolerated at small/medium size airports because they perform
one very useful duty: Keep birds from nesting on airport grounds. |

Some people think rabbits/bunnies and hares are the same thing. However, you would never find a hare named "Anna Nicole" |

TMO LGB (Long Beach, CA airport) always has jackrabbits hopping around the grassy margins of the runway..the area of Long Beach was so heavily rabbitized in the early part of the 2-th century that thefirst local high school's mascot was and is a Jackrabbit. Sometimes the bunnies hop along side the plane when it taxis..sort of reminds me of when Playboy had its own DC-9? airplane the Big Bunny. :0 |
