We live near the river valley and hear coyotes on a regular basis and see them occasionally. There are often signs for missing animals - cats and dogs - I have a good hunch where they are ;-)

That was my first thought too! And I suppose there are Jets at YWG all the time, especially since they haven't switched divisions after moving from Atlanta.

This reminded me of a rather long comment a certain "unique" flight instructor was saying on the radio about coyotes being beautiful animals at YBW a while back. Needless to say, Tower wasn't too impressed by her wasting air time during a very busy time with a full circuit and traffic on approach.

There is actually a former TC inspector in YWG who wrote amazing CADORS. One of my favourites is about a fish strike at YYC. (really!) Here's a couple of examples of his brilliance.

O.P.I.: System Safety

Narrative: UPDATE Aerodrome Safety reported that the initial report of a dead perch about a pound and half (perfect eating size) found on runway 16 at Calgary was unfounded. Further reports that the fish was picked up by a daredevil CL215-flight crew who were conducting water pickups on the Bow River inside city limits and then dropping the water on unsuspecting patrons at the Cecil and the St. Regis hotels is without substance.

Narrative: UPDATE Aerodrome Safety reported that airside operations personnel recovered and removed two Ross's Geese (smaller version of a snow goose) and then found a third one knock knock knocking on heaven's door. The three geese were removed. This event did not cause any interruption of air traffic nor did it cause any reported aircraft damage. The aircraft which collided with the birds is unknown.

Hey, if these inspectors are earning taxpayer money they might as well deliver some quality entertainment while they're at it. :D
