March 31-April 1 was a Busy Day

George's Point of View

Let me know if you want the details here, I barely know what to choose. No deaths were reported with any of these incidents. (Altogether, it does look like our aviation has been taken over by the keystone cops)

I think my favorite is the plane that stuck a deer, in Kill Devil Hills. Though I do have some regrets for the deer. Do you think he had his pilot's license or was officially a "Devil"? For the deer's sake, I am hoping this was an April Fools Day joke.

Seriously folks. Maintain the planes.
