Coyotes at YYC
According to the CADORS, it appears there has been a number of incidents at YYC involving coyotes on the runway. Maybe 20 events or so in the last three months.
(And yes, they are in our backyard too. Beautiful animals.) |
They happen all the time here in Springbank CYBW as well. Had a close one the other day.
|
When I used to fly in Texas I had to do a go around once because of an Alligator on the runway. I guess each part of the world has it's own runway pests, lol.
|
Indeed.
At YSB apparently they have problems with snowboarders. |
YVR has coyotes as well.
In the '90s YXS had bears. |
Gotta love Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok..... Golfers/Golf Balls on the runway.......
Oh wait, only animals need apply! |

I saw the title of the thread and I thought someone came up with a new name for the lounge dragons (ie Coyote Ugly)!

While they were still constructing the new road around the end of rwy34, I was out there with my (then) one-year old son, and saw a coyote eyeing us. Kept getting closer and closer until I tossed a few rocks his way to scare him off. Really gotta keep an eye open for them.
I often wonder about the fools with their dogs off-leash in the nature areas (especially along the pathway near Edworthy Park) where there are definitely coyotes. |

Largst group we have seen behind the house was five of them. Most of the time it's one though. Occasionally two. They catch their prey jumping at it, just like cats jump at mice. |
