Rudolf’s Cousin Taken Out By Alaska-Horizon Air?

December 9, 2015: It happened this past weekend at Snoopy’s home airport — Charles M. Schultz Airport in Santa Rosa, California (STS) — it was sad but quick. A Horizon Air flight, in bound from Seattle, clipped a deer passing on the runway as it landed. Antler contact blew out a tire but the plane went on to the terminal and off loaded passengers — claim they never heard or felt anything. No passenger confusion, evacuation or reported damage to the aircraft. Unfortunately, the deer did not walk away — and rumor has it that there was fresh venison stew on the terminal restaurant menu the next day.
