Sanjay 1 - Squirrel 0

He didn't mean to hit it, but there was the evidence right in front of us. Laying flat out along the taxiway centerline, paws gently curled in the air like a dog playing dead. Another one ran out right between our wheels during a take-off roll but that one seemed to make it through.

It reminded me that it's probably time to have you all review your animal avoidance techniques, and I thought a training blog would be a good way to keep us all connected on this sort of topic. So please, when you have a minute, read through an article I wrote last year for the club's newsletter called "Abort Planning: Furball Twelve o'Clock" located toward the end of the document at:

Then, when you have another minute (and if you know how), subscribe to the blog so you can see when something new has been posted. By then, I will have set you all up with "post" permissions so you can either comment on someone else's post or create one of your own.

Welcome to your flight training blog!
