Holy Humboldt Batcopter Horrors Batman!

Marvelous Comix

And that was that for our heroes.  Fortunately Alfred arrived the following day and under cover of darkness repaired the Batcopter.

Catwoman and King Tut were really pissed but fell right into line when Commissioner Gordon from the FAA arrived the following month to ask a few questions.

Expect Better from our Airport Authority, let's get Humboldt County Aviation back on the localizer.

See you next week,

C182 vs Deer

Aviation Deer Strikes, coming to an airport near YOU

Click on the link above. You have got to see this 7 1/2 min. video. At the end the pilot shows all of the damage.

This is what you can expect at KEKA without a deer fence. I know, it always happens to the other guy, like our friend Manny that used to fly the FedEx Cessna Caravan into KEKA.

Shortly after touching down, a deer ran across the runway (29) and was struck by the propeller of the aircraft. The deer was split longitudinally from head to tail, made one hell of a mess and thoroughly broke the airplane.

Thank goodness that Manny was OK. And fortunately he didn't have to pay for the repairs to the Caravan that were over $250K.

Get involved with Humboldt County Aviation. Your voice is needed.
