From The "Well, Isn't This Interesting" Department - Cessna Citation Hits Deer On Runway. Plane Destroyed.


Apparently the Citation II (registration N6763L, operated by United States Customs and Border Patrol) struck the deer upon touchdown, the left fuel tank burst, and lots of happy, volatile Jet-A went directly into the #1 intake.  The light show must have been amazing.  The crew escaped unhurt.

There was no mention of the condition of the deer, or whether it was an American Deer, or a member of a Cartel.

Shot location: GRD (Photographer unidentified)
