This 100 per cent grade A true.
A British pilot said he ran into an unusual hazard while making an emergency landing - a cow. Rob Wotton said he was trying to land his World War II-era Tiger Moth after the engine stalled just after takeoff southwest of London on Sept. 14. He was about to touch down in a field when the animal wandered into his way.
Video of the event on YouTube shows the brown-and-white cow being knocked to the ground by the plane's lower left wing. The two-seater was damaged but landed safely.
An accident report said the cow was "apparently uninjured."
Wotton said he might paint a cow on the plane to mark the event.
He says: "I have to say it is the first cow I have ever hit in 22 years' flying."

Cows were slightly injured making this movie. As far as beef grade, is this Choice, Select, or Prime? It wasn't the pilots choice nor did he Select this cow... But I see the incident is on, "Prime" Time TV!
Talk about going against the Left Wing! I actually have many more. Border Collie complains about BI Planes and fears being out of work! I can't help it!
I think the link to the Movie is down so here is a Link
