There are plenty of deers in a forest just east of the base and these deers are very clever as they enter the base through the main gate when at evening there is only a guard inside the guardhouse and not outside at the gateHornet69 wrote:Hopla wrote:Deer on the runway departures had to wait
A deer on an military airbase which is fenced. What is more important? The safety of the pilots or a deer? I would say catch the deer and put this animal free in a nature park were this animal belongs.
When I was stationed at Leeuwarden I noticed several times deers jumping over the fence (!!) and running/crossing the taxi/runway. I think it is part of "normal life" at this baseHornet69 wrote:Hopla wrote:Deer on the runway departures had to wait

This was common at Soesterberg AB also. Never saw actual flight ops being impacted by this BTW.Mark B. wrote:When I was stationed at Leeuwarden I noticed several times deers jumping over the fence (!!) and running/crossing the taxi/runway.

Not an easy job to catch them and in order to garantuee the safety of the planes and more important the pilots it is a no brainer to temporary stop any aircraft movement.
