Default Yeah

Shame on the jokes. What's wrong with you guys. Not funny in my book. If or when this happens to you, you will understand, it not fun or funny, at all.

Robby,
While I am sure he was heart broke and sick to his stomach when it happened, I am sure that he will see the funny side of this as time wears on.
I hit a cow with my high school 66 Mustang and totaled it when I was a kid and we still bust ouu laughing every time it is mentioned.

... I, have over the years had more than my share of mishaps and incidences. Many small, and a few very serious in nature. This one, shown here thankfully didn't have a disastrous outcome. All the damage is repairable, excluding the deer and in retrospect it is far better to look on the light side than to sit in morning, or embrace the fear of something you have no control over. Much healthier to look on this as an experience to benefit from. I can't imagine this offending anyone, but if it did, I assure you that was not the intention. Thanks, Allan

I agree completely both for the sake of the pilot and the animal which is just an innocent creature.

Is this considered a prop strike? Compliance with Lycoming's service letter?

Best,

Default I'd say it's a tear-down/overhaul, Pierre

.. and a reminder of why the game warden doesn't hesitate to give me a kill permit whenever I ask. Farmers have to show crop damage; I just have to show a turf runway. Silly beasts are as likely to bolt in front of you as away from you, and they come out earlier each evening in the fall
