Biplane Clips Cow - Watch more Animal Videos
(Note: You see the cow about 55 seconds into the video)
For all you animal lovers out there, the above video is probably worth giving a miss. The uploader definitely saw the funny side:
A cow winds up on the receiving end of this plane. Guess the pilot had a major beef with her.
If anyone knows the aircraft that is being flown please let us know!
Looks like a de Havilland Tiger Moth.
watch out! idiot flying
Looks more like 40 seconds into the video...
The aircraft lost the engine immediately after takeoff and the pilot did exactly the right thing and landed in the nearest available open ground ahead of the aircraft (and did one heck of a job in missing a pole after the cow impact). This video could have ended much more tragically.
It doesn't look like the pilots knew exactly what happened.
I think the pilots did know what happened. Just before the cow, the plane lifts off again and then comes back down. Looks as though they tried to jump the cow but couldn't get high enough.
Doesn't look like the cow saw them coming either.
First cow tipping, now cow clipping.
Yes, it definitely looks like a DH Tiger Moth.
Holy cow!
(sorry, couldn't resist)
In the shadow, you see the prop still spinning. The camera is mounted on the airframe. Had he hit the cow, there would have been a jolt in the video. I think the cow 'spooked' itself and went over. A self-inflicted cow tip.
Fkn lol.
He had and engine failure and did a good job landing in an open grass field. It looks like he tried to avoid the cow but oh well. He's no idiot - Roger3107, you're a moron!
Definitely not a B17
The starboard flap definitly hits the cow, it may or may not have been lethal to the cow, but it's a definite hit.
good hit!!!
this guys need brush and some white paint to mark victory :)
De Havilland DH-28 "Tigermoth".
YouTube has a fuller version of the clip and you can hear the aircraft engine cut out and kick back in and out again, a likely sign that the fuel pump failed.
The aircraft bounced on landing, again this is quite normal for a tail dragging biplane. For those that are wondering why the pilot in looking to his right (ie left on the video) it's because that's the low side in the banked turn an aircraft makes when turning to the right. You can also hear the impact of Tigermoth hitting the cow which admittedly is barley a touch.
