Incident: Jazz DH8A at London on Jul 25th 2009, rejected takeoff due to fish strike
By Simon Hradecky, created Monday, Jul 27th 2009 21:48Z, last updated Monday, Jul 27th 2009 21:48Z

An Air Canada Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-100, flight QK-7710 from London,ON to Toronto Pearson,ON (Canada), impacted a fish during its takeoff roll and rejected takeoff. The airplane stopped safely.

NAV Canada reported besides the DH8A, that an osprey flying overhead the aerodrome had dropped a carp, which impacted the airplane. The FAA reported the airplane to be a DH8C (Dash 8-300).

The airplane departed a few minutes later and reached Toronto on schedule.

That's just toooooooo funny!

The Osprey, by the way, appears to have been nesting in an Antenna Array over by the District Airworthiness building at the Northwest end of the airport!
