"A U.S. registered amateur built aircraft landed at Burwash and the pilot made no contact with the CARS O/C on the airport mandatory frequency. The pilot stopped the aircraft mid-field, relieved himself on the runway (without authorisation), got back in the aircraft and departed to the east."

The part that gets me is the "(without authorisation)"

UPDATE Aerodrome Safety reported that airside operations personnel recovered and removed the remains of a white tailed Jack Rabbit. The aircraft's right main gear although somewhat discolored did not suffer any damage; sadly the same cannot be said about the hasenpfeffer. This event had no operational impact

"UPDATE Aerodrome Safety reported that all four events took place on Saturday the 27th and Monday the 29th of September are a direct result of airside care and control. Airport personnel and construction employees had been briefed by the APM on airside protocols, ground to ground radio communications and escort vehicles. For some reason what should have been a straight forward follow the instructions operation turned into a colossal goat dance. All of the players were re-briefed Nav Canada was also asked to sit in on the safety/plan of construction meeting and explain their roles pertaining to airside operations. This event had no air operational impact"

Somebody posted one here a few years ago that consisted of a report and a series of updates on the whereabouts and status of a coyote or deer on the airport premises. That one was pretty good, but I can't remember where it was.

the one about the crazy hicks thinking an American C-130 that landed in CYMM was a UFO was pretty awesome, can't find it though

they came over the fence and up the ramp of the herc and started fighting with the loadmaster

said something like these guys were known to police and have mental health issues...

[+RA]

looproll, this looks to be the one:

WITCH 54, US Air National Guard C-130J, was enroute from Juneau, AK to Baltimore, MD when the crew advised Edmonton ACC of an electrical/computer problem and requested to divert to Fort McMurray (YMM). While being vectored for final for Runway 25 at YMM, the crew declared an emergency as the aircraft also developed gear difficulties. ERS services were called and responded. At 0540Z, WITCH 54 landed without incident. At 0600Z, the crew of WITCH 54 requested RCMP assistance because shortly after parking on the apron, two unidentified male individuals entered the back of the aircraft. The RCMP and Airport personnel responded and the individuals were apprehended. Apparently, three males were in a pickup truck at the airport perimeter fence and two of them scaled the fence, went to the aircraft parking area and entered the back of the aircraft. When told to leave, the individuals interfered with a crew member and were then apprehended by an RCMP constable and airport staff. The individuals are known to local authorities and there may be mental health issues involved. They reportedly made comments to the flight crew that they thought the aircraft was a ""UFO"" and came to look at it. All three men are in custody and charges are pending.

Narrative: UPDATE Aerodrome Safety reported that the APM reported that a big storm went through Lloydminster with lots of thunder and lighting which caused a two hour power outage. The weather was so severe that it scared a horse which was on a ranch in a wooden coral about a mile or so from the airport. The horse ran or jumped the coral and because the powered fence was down, he was on the lose. The horse decided to hold up at the airport workshop (maintenance building). A farmer who was bailing hay at the airport saw the horse and tried to catch him which was how the horse got onto the runway. Both FSS personnel and the farmer called the APM. The APM Lariat in hand was able to catch the horse and lead it back to his home. Once he established who owned the horse the APM returned it to the owners. This event did not cause any interruption of air traffic although it did liven up for a while at least a rather slow Sunday at the Lloydminster Airport. The APM is still trying to get fencing through T/C ACAP funding.

Occurrence Summary
Date Entered:
2009-06-30
Narrative:
The crew of WJA 551 reported a dead bird on Runway 16 after landing at Calgary. Airport staff carried out a runway inspection and found a dead perch, not a bird. This is the first recorded fish incursion in the history of Calgary International Airport.
O.P.I.:
Aerodrome Safety
Further Action Required:
No
Occurrence Summary
Date Entered:
2009-07-06
Narrative:
UPDATE Aerodrome Safety reported that the initial report of a dead perch about a pound and half (perfect eating size) found on runway 16 at Calgary was unfounded. Further reports that the fish was picked up by a daredevil CL215-flight crew who were conducting water pickups on the Bow River inside city limits and then dropping the water on unsuspecting patrons at the Cecil and the St. Regis hotels is without substance. However airside operations personnel did locate and remove the remains of a fish identity/type/size unknown although a common sucker is suspected and bird feathers from an Osprey were located and removed. The Bird and Wildlife biologist at Calgary reports that this event was a bird strike and that Osprey are known to fish in streams east and north of the city. There have been no reported of a bird strikes regarding this occurrence.
O.P.I.:
System Safety
Further Action Required:
No

Ever since reading this I always perform a low and over at unfamiliar airports to survey for ichthyoidal incursions.

A few summers ago, there was a CADOR @ CYVC reporting the FSS had seen someone rolling down the runway in a wheelchair......can't find it on the site......'local' talent I was told.

Here's how you know that your circuits are too big.

2013-02-19 Narrative:While conducting continuous circuits in Lethbridge (CYQL) on runway 12, the pilot of an Excel Flight Training Piper PA28 (C-GDTK) on a VFR flight was unable to locate the final approach leg and the runway threshold. VDF assistance was provided. Aircraft landed safely. Operational impact - one aircraft extended their departure leg.

Incidentally if you type in CYQL into the location it comes up with a daily string of CADORS relating to people crossing the border without flight plans. Not sure if that's funny or just sad.

[TA/RA]

Saw a good PIREP once went something like:

"CYZT Runway condition 1% bare and dry 99% goose poop"

[200hr Wonder]

Hey goose poop is slick as well, goose poop.

Stoopid Autocorrect!

[GyvAir]

Hey goose poop is slick as well goods poop.

What kind of animal is a well good?

One of the funnier ones from when I was in Thompson, I wasn't working for this one though.

Date Entered:2006-07-27
Narrative:
At 1900z, the FSS Specialist at Thompson was delivering a clearance to the crew of CAV 7794, a departing Saab 340, when he observed a vehicle following the aircraft down the runway. The Specialist made a broadcast for the vehicle to identify itself or if anyone knew who it was. The Specialist informed the flight crew that a vehicle was following the aircraft down the runway. and contacted the driver of an airport vehicle to proceed onto Runway 05/23 to determine why the vehicle was there. The unknown vehicle followed CAV 7794 to the threshold of Runway 05 and stopped in the turnaround area. ST 24 caught up to the vehicle and disabled it by taking the keys. CAV 7794 departed with only a minimal delay and CAV 7509 landed with no delay. ST 41 then proceeded to the threshold of Runway 05 where they apprehended the unknown vehicle and the operator. The vehicles then returned to the ramp and called the RCMP to deal with the matter.
O.P.I.:Aerodrome Safety Further Action Required:Yes
Occurrence Summary
Date Entered:2006-10-26
Narrative:
UPDATE Aerodrome Safety reported that the driver of the vehicle entered the airside apron area on the north side of the field. Although there is security fencing on the north side the fence is located on the south side of the access road it front of the hangars. The solution for tenant entry which are gates is also the problem. The gates are opened and very rarely closed except at night or once air operations have been finished for the night. So once the individual was airside he elected to follow the aircraft (CALM Air flight CAV7794 a Saab 340) out onto the runway expecting it would appear to catch a flight. Staff from the Thompson Airport Authority were able to defuse a potentially threatening and hazardous situation and turn the matter over to the RCMPolice. It was reported that the individual appeared intoxicated however it was later revealed that he was going through a personal crisis and had neglected to take his medication. There were no charges laid. This event caused only a minor delay to one departing aircraft. The airport authority have applied for funding to change the North side fencing issue under ACAP (Airports Capital Assistance Program)

I was with an instructor who did this at a major international airport many years ago at night on a stop and go. Winter time as well so the evidence may have remained for a while.
