Let's see if I've got this all correct,,,,,
An Elk wandered on to the runway and was struck by a learjet that was taking off. This all occurred at Astoria Oregon which is on the coast.
Now this learjet was under contract to the Canadian Military, but only one of the four people aboard was military. The rest were civilians and it was flying on a Saturday night......
The plane was owned by a company in Georgia called Phoenix Air, which was formerly known as South East Air... of CIA fame.
The aircraft, after striking the elk, ran off the runway and burned to the ground as shown in the accompanying picture. People actually survived that? Sounds feasable, but really strange. I've seen lots of airplane accidents, and ???????????
