[REAL ATC] An Embraer E170 STRIKES A SKUNK landing at Ottawa!

[@VASAviation]

Even though the controller made a joke of the situation, hitting an animal like a skunk is really serious. Glad it all turned well :) NOTE: Sorry for having Birdman captions as said by RPA3727. Edition mistake :(

[@Boodieman72]

I hope the skunk smell doesn't stay in the aircraft.

[@drmayeda1930]

@@Boodieman72 The smell would be on the tires. Unless they are parking for inspection the marshalled will be the first to notice any odor.

[@Boodieman72]

@@drmayeda1930 When you run over one in a car, the car stinks not just the tire. They are also parking the aircraft so a lot of time for the smell to be drawn in.

[@mmkbkk]

Wonder what it means for airline safety, if this channel covers skunk hits.

[@donwald3436]

Haha birdman is a great callsign.

[@Compression_Igniton]

Excellent work VAS! I was sitting in the parking lot at the button of 25 during this incident. Our bird man Barry is a real gem and a great guy to have a coffee with. Kudos to all those involved and the professional conduct considering the circumstances. We were doubled over in laughter during the incident and I’m pleasantly surprised that it’s been covered your channel. As a commercial pilot out of the yow area I applaud you and your efforts to bring light and learning to the professional aviation community and onlookers alike. 10/10 and merry Christmas!

[@sanches2]

How come the report has 0 fatalities listed?! What about the poor skunk? ;)

[@macmedic892]

Skunk Lives Matter!

[@AddyRyan66]

skunks are people too

[@pluto8404]

Its ok to be a skunk

[@drmayeda1930]

Fatalities probably refers to people not animals.

[@JanicekTrnecka]

Is this a situation to deploy oxygen masks?

[@lastannahme]

Dude, not only that you have very interesting "aviation stuff" on your channel you must also be respected for the amount of work and effort you put into it!

[@maxmustermann194]

Birdman is a profession, after all. I thought it's a movie!

[@Quasihamster]

That stinks...

[@weidwingelobjegdiv]

Skunkworks has left the chat

[@burnabyemergencyphotograph8683]

“Ladies and gentleman, it looks like we just had a skunk strike.”

[@edwardvarby4363]

I hate to think of the skunk's final thoughts. "BIG EAGLE! DEFENSIVE SPRAY. ¢°€^€°€¥®©✓!!" Skunk2: *staring* "Wow. Joe finally got one, but it got him...

[@macmedic892]

RIP Pepe Le Pew.

[@Cissy2cute]

He was a good skunk. He will be remembered.

[@wrbutler3681]

You sure it wasn't Bambi's friend, Flower?

[@canadianplanespotter]

A skunk of all things...Hah, every incident at Ottawa seems to involve United Express! :P

[@JJ_Skippy]

Hello VASAviation, There was a plane crash that hit a couple houses near KFSD. This has just happened within the last hour, I will bring more info when it’s available. Thank you for reading this comment.

[@TheMerryPup]

Ground: So you're good. . .you're clear? Birdman: Clear. . .but not good. 🤢

[@travisgoff99]

That's a first for me, hitting a skunk with a airplane!

[@burakcetav]

You listened to my suggestion on the last video, to change the layout! This is much easier to understand, thankyou :)

[@caseymcmurtry2124]

Hey I've got a question for the community, what's the best way (if any) to listen to airport radio chatter while you're actually sitting in a commercial airplane?

[@Compression_Igniton]

Casey McMurtry LiveATC is a decent app for a buck or two however the feed is delayed about 30 seconds.

[@uy_spotter]

Austral E190 impacted with a Drone over Buenos Aires just a few days ago!

[@drmayeda1930]

There was a possible drone strike on a nose cone a few days ago.

[@chrism81804]

Flight av245 from JFK to BOG had a problem on 12/21 due to landing gear failure during take off and had to fly back to JFK

[@jaxswat7061]

This video Stinks 😷🤣😂🤣

[@VASAviation]

It really does :D

[@Xanthopteryx]

We are evacuating on the runway. I repeat: We are evacuating on the runway. We have breathing problem in the cabin.

[@SkipFlem]

All they had to do is hose down the landing gear and underside with tomato juice. (Or V8 cocktail beverage. )

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Nothing worse than the smell of a torn up skunk! I feel for those guys, LOL! Glad it didn't affect the aircraft in any way - hitting anything at those speeds has the potential to end badly ...

[@xaviation5144]

Poor guy. RIP Gareth the Skunk.

[@joesmith389]

After nosing around, looks like that landing was skunked.

[@tonyt5498]

And remains were sent to the caterers

[@EG-0611]

Poor thing :( Maybe it tried to find some food for babies :(

[@MarksTournaments]

EG 0611 fucking dead now

[@garywatersjr8959]

Given the date this happened on, better a skunk then a building! This comment is not meant to offend, rather it is meant to draw attention to the date.

[@Phyde4ux]

Did the skunk have clearance to land?

[@VASAviation]

Negative. It didn't even have a clearance to cross the runway.

[@markmnorcal]

Better than in the engine.

[@rfbertelli]

What about the JJ8084, the Latam form GRU to LHR?

[@judebug329]

Well done, commenters! 😂😂😂

[@Trek001]

1) Looks like Maggie's plan of killing Pepe le Pew has worked 2) You have Birdman down as RPA3727

[@VASAviation]

Just realized, sorry.

[@Trek001]

@@VASAviation Better put annotations over the top... Otherwise Maggie will start overflying your house

How do you know it wasn't Bambi's friend, Flower?

[@skswtlnd]

That stinks!! 😂😂😂

[@yaosio]

Was the skunk given landing clearance?

[@VASAviation]

Negative. It got a number to call.

[@NetAndyCz]

Did they clean the runway or commented on the messiness and decided to wait for the rain?

[@drmayeda1930]

They would need to remove the carcass from the runway then use a very strong bleach.

[@JJ_Skippy]

I wonder if the plane smelled like a skunk after that? Probably not.

[@clemg6254]

hello, are you going to do the 777 emirates cargo from maastricht to dubai who diverts to toulouse blagnac airport like 1-2 weeks ago? Bye!

[@ZenZaBill]

Well... that flight stunk.

[@travist4923]

Not a skunk i just forgot to do shirt laundry.... Or was it the doob i smoked in the bathroom, either way i had nothing to do with it, nothing to smell here. Move along

[@davidorth4906]

That's funny.

Guess thats one smelly belly.. R.I.P. Skunk :'(

[@comcfi]

Omg plz tell me the skunk is ok

[@nikotakai8796]

I don't think so.

[@pluto8404]

He didnt even try cpr.

[@Thumbsupurbum]

All he needs is a band-aid and a couple of tylenol, he'll be just fine.

[@davidorth4906]

Canadians should know not to let skunks talk to deer.

okay we have a winner. thx.
