Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Not much else to get excited about here in Montana. Other than the beer truck on Thursdays.

Absolutly fantastic headline. Haven't even read the story yet.

Negative ghostrider, the pattern is full.

Boo! Montana is one of the most beautiful states in the nation. Especially up near Glacier.

Poor Cub. Great bush planes.

From a pilot friend of mine:

Rule 1: Fly the damn plane
Rule 2: Fly the damn plane
Rule 3: Fly the damn plane

Wow is this ever funny! The pilot owes me a new keyboard.

Like OMG!!!! Elk!.......CRASH!!


/ya I know it's dumb, but meh...

How could the biologist not know a plane had hit his truck?

The guy says he was flying to check out the livestock on the ranch - sounds like he was being paid to fly. But the FAA registry lists him as an ASEL private pilot. If they decide he was flying commercially he will kiss his certificate goodbye.

And the plane:
N-number : N6083A
Aircraft Serial Number : 18-8009048
Aircraft Manufacturer : PIPER
Model : PA-18-150
Engine Manufacturer : LYCOMING
Model : 0-320 SERIES
Aircraft Year : 1979
Owner Name : HUNT OIL COMPANY
Owner Address : PO BOX 850
CODY, WY, 82414-0850
Type of Owner : Corporation
Registration Date : 28-Nov-1988
Airworthiness Certificate Type : Standard
Approved Operations : Normal

that's a paddlin'

hey, you know what they say...snakes on a plane.

Awwww, now those two will always have brokewing mountain.

Damn! I missed submitting this by 2 minutes. My headline was "Want to get the attention of a Game and Fish Biologist? Try hitting his truck with an airplane." The ranch is owned by the corporation, I used to live in Cody. BTW, this was in Wyoming, NOT Montana. The Hoodoo ranch is halfway between Cody and Meteetsee. Gorgeous place.

Having recently driven through Montana (I-90), outside of the stunning beauty of the mountains, I'd have to agree. I was sitting outside of Butte at a truck stop eating and this guy strikes up a conversation.

"There's pleanty to do around here, we got a bar, a casino and even a strip club. Though the girls don't want to do anything with you, it's not so bad."

The motto in the valleys should be "I don't know, I just moved here from California"

Though it beats South Dakota where I was once told "You're not in the middle of no where, we live here" With me thinking, I'm on the top of a hill in the prarie and I can't see your house from here, what do you do drive 2 hours to work everyday.

Spotting a herd -- is that like listening to a vision?

He now has a job with Southwest

Possible first words after the accident:

"You dick!"

"What the hell did you do that for?"

"Smooth move slick."

"Tadaaa!"

I wonder if the Elk(s) fell down & peed themselves from laughing so hard?

Looks like the weather's beautiful up that way, too.

/Just kidding.
//Lived there for 15 years.
///I wanna go home.

That's Mrs. Anne Elk.

/not A elk.

Saquatch took a picture of it

Eh, that would be...Sasquatch

It's a shame to see a Super Cub wrecked. My favorite plane.

SoCalChris

"Montana" is not just a state. It's a state of mind....that's why Yellowstone is in Montana. That's why grizzly bears live in Montana. Anywhere that's cold and pretty and people want to go there, in July, that's all "Montana." Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is actually in Montana, and guess where Old Faithful is? You got it.

/Not really kidding
//Ask almost anyone in the U.S.

SoCalChris, I can understand, being as you are a Montanan, that my statement sounded confusing. "Not much else to get excited about here in Montana (SO WE'LL WRITE ABOUT PLANES CRASHING INTO TRUCKS). Other than the beer truck on Thursdays. (SEE, WE'RE GETTING EXCITED ABOUT A PLANE CRASHING INTO A TRUCK, AND THEN WE'RE WRITING ABOUT IT)". Hope that helps.

/Lives in Montana
//Has issues with the moronic mentality of the people who live here
///It'd be a great place to live if everyone here left

Montana is for wusses.....try a real state cyryinoutloud......Alaska. Makes montana's grizzez look like a teddy bear.

herd of Elk?


Yah but they dont sound very interesting.
\bah dum dum

The guy says he was flying to check out the livestock on the ranch - sounds like he was being paid to fly. But the FAA registry lists him as an ASEL private pilot. If they decide he was flying commercially he will kiss his certificate goodbye.

He could be an owner of the ranch - "We've got about 370,000 acres,". There's also no mention of passengers, which is where the FAA gets the most uptight.

Clearly, this is the guy to fly the MIG to China.

Mensan

Upon utilisation of my Mensan (not a member) talents, I conclude that a strong possiblity exists that this pilot has a vested interest in the operations of the ranch and is probably leasing the mentioned aircraft from the listed owner and uses it for fun and cow spotting.

Hahahaha what a frickin' dimwad. Ceeripes I used to live in Billings. There were times we'd be driving to some campground and had to wait hours, I mean many hours, for the herd of elk to cross the road. Thousands of the things. It was both cool and annoying.

"Honk the horn Dad, jeez!"

"That'll just make 'em mad."

"Try anyway, c'mon MOVE IT YOU BEASTS!"

"Curt, this is Montana, not California."

"Duh!"

I don't know why anyone would get so excited unless they're from some other state that doesn't have large herbivores roaming the land. Elk are everywhere around those parts.

--- and dem's good eatin' ---

--- elk mustard jerky ... grrrrraaaawwwllllll ---

Montana is terrible. If you haven't been, don't ever go there for any reason. If you have been and liked it, you're just kidding yourself as you saw the only good weather they ever had.

/really, don't go there
//the people are not nice
///there is nothing interesting to do
////the lifestyle is awful
/////not really but please don't go anyway

"Now there's something you don't see every day, Chauncey."

Also acceptable is "gang of elks"...

Just sayin'

INTERVIEWER: Well, now tell me, what do you do when you spot an elk?
SPOTTER: Er, I take its number.
INTERVIEWER: Elks don't have numbers.
SPOTTER: Ah, well you've got to know where to look. Er, they're on the side of the engine above the piston box.
INTERVIEWER: What?
SPOTTER: Ah - of course you've got to make sure it's not a moose. 'Cos if it's a moose it goes in the moose book.
INTERVIEWER: Well how do you tell if it's a moose?
SPOTTER: Ah well, a moose has cylindrical antlers and an elk has a refreshment car, buffet, and ticket collector.
INTERVIEWER: Mr Sopwith, aren't you in fact a train Spotter?
SPOTTER: What?
INTERVIEWER: Don't you in fact spot trains?
SPOTTER: Oh, you're no fun anymore.
