In Tuesday’s post about the bear that ate an aircraft in Alaska, I mentioned that some of the hazards of backcountry flying included hitting wild animals on remote African airstrips.
Colliding with a giraffe on take-off in a Cessna 172 is a pretty grim experience, as this photo from Lee Ouzman attests.
This sad incident took place some time back at Santawani airstrip in Botswana.
