    An interesting incident reported on Avherald today. :D
    Incident: Air Canada A320 at Calgary on Sep 16th 2012, coyote wasn't running speedy enough
    By Simon Hradecky, created Wednesday, Sep 19th 2012 20:13Z, last updated Wednesday, Sep 19th 2012 20:13Z

    An Air Canada Airbus A320-200, registration C-FKCR performing flight AC-146 from Calgary,AB to Toronto,ON (Canada) with 137 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Calgary's runway 34 and just rotated when the aircraft struck a coyote at about 150 knots. A normal gear retraction followed, the crew did not find any abnormal indication or abnormal handling and continued the flight to Toronto for a safe landing about 3 hours later.

    The Canadian TSB reported a runway inspection recovered a coyote carcass, weight about 25 to 30 lbs/11-13kg, from the runway. Maintenance did not find any damage after landing in Toronto.

    Just as well the animal only came up against the gear, ingesting one of those isn't going to do much for your engine.
