Plane carrying 3 people and 53 dogs down near Waukesha, Wisconsin

[BigJimSlade]

Unknown type so far. Twin engine, but it’s hard to see the aircraft in the snowy photograph.

From the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel - https://www.jsonline.com/story/comm...county-carrying-3-adults-56-dogs/69650865007/

All survived.

Looks like it could be a Metroliner.

 

[Ed Haywood]

That's actually quite a funny story. Imagine the first responders trying to deal with 56 dogs in crates in the middle of a snowstorm.

Good job by the pilot. That's a big plane to put down on a golf course. Everyone walked away, on 2 legs or 4.

 

[sourdough44]

Yeah, and the weather was kinda bad at the time, near 1/2 mile in -sn. I’m thinking that wx or icing played a role.

That landing looks ruff.

 

[KSCessnaDriver]

Ameriflight Metroliner, looks to have flown from New Orleans Lakefront. https://avherald.com/h?article=501162c4&opt=0

Those poor pups must have been terrierfied.









(I’ll do this all by myself, I don’t care!)

You’re barking up the wrong tree.

 

[eman1200]

Another golf course landing. I wonder if they made the dogleg.

 

[Ed Haywood]

All these bad dog puns have me howling in indignation.

 

[MauleSkinner]

Did they land in the caninth fairway?

 

[eman1200]

there's a whole lotta snow, it looks really cold oh you tee

 

[Bell206]

I wonder if they were on a CAT II landing approach and the dogs found out?

 

[MauleSkinner]

Who let the dogs out?

 

[eman1200]

clearly weather came into play. you know, howling winds or something.....

 

[jallen0]

If you're blaming the snowy weather I think you're barking up the wrong tree. It was clearly raining....cats and dogs. Look, there must a cat around there somewhere.

I bet they stepped in a lot of poodles walking out of there.

I don't know why this popped into my head, but if there were any cats on the ground they were probably terrified that they were under air assault. Like the glider landings at Normandy, except loaded with dogs.

The Dogs of War?

 

[eman1200]

good thing the plane didn't rollover

 

[MauleSkinner]

Did they send a dog to fetch help?

F$ck!ng awesome!

 

[dans2992]

For a minute there, I was hoping it wasn’t an MU2!!

 

[SoonerAviator]

The pilot really screwed the pooch on the approach.

 

[Piperonca]

Doggone!

 

[Brad Smith]

Maybe the pilot was dog tired?

 

[MauleSkinner]

It appears that the pilot had boned up on his emergency procedures, anyway.

 

[kath]

The pilot trained at a puppy mill.

 

[Turbo-Arrow-Driver]

Who was flying that doghouse, anyway? I've got a guess...

 

[MauleSkinner]

The pilot has probably been hounded by the press for information as to the cause.

 

[Mason]

A real freight dog.

 

[Kenny Phillips]

3 nm from the runway.

 

[Piperonca]

3 nm from the runway.

That’s 21 in dog miles

I hope the investigators aren’t barking up the wrong tree.

 

[Daleandee]

I would've been dog sledding to the house ...

 

[MauleSkinner]

Let’s just paws for a moment and take a break from these doggone puns.

Not as long as I've got a woof over my head.

 

[Piperonca]

Not as long as I've got a woof over my head.

For some reason, that just about makes me cry. We lost our dog this year after 15 good years. You could be in bed and if you heard woof at night, you knew there was someone nearby who shouldn't be. Miss that woof more than I can say.

I hear you. I still sometimes open the door to the house and expect to see Buddy there with his usual "What'd you bring me?" look, and it's still a gut-punch when I remember why he's not there.

hopefully the ntsb can shed some light on this
