Flying dog

[guzzijohn]

The current issue of Soaring Magazine included this (paraphrased)...One of the pilots in our glider club brought out a terrier dog that started chasing after everything. The owner restrained the dog but the dog got loose and attacked a glider during the takeoff process. It bit the lower part of the rudder and held on during what turned out to be about a 10 minute flight. Both the dog and glider survived.

No one care what you have to say.  Only reason I clicked I'd because I read all unread topics.

  On the contrary, although we don't agree on all things, I would prefer to be polite..

   As to the post above..Hey, we have flying squirrels..why not flying dogs?   

  Back in my younger years , I bred, hunted,showed and competed with terriers.  ..Airedales and Jack Russells to be exact.

  Terriers are a ball of energy and a truck load of assertiveness.  One has to be cautious when introducing them to other dogs or a new event..
    My Airedales were generally tractable to aloof with human strangers, but want to dominate other dogs.

  Both breeds are 'sporting' to the nth degree..either one would tackle a grizzly, without a second thought.
  Yes, the owner tried to keep the terrier tied, but it probably would have been best if the dog were left at home.

  The term "terrier" comes from the word "terra" or earth, since their original job was to go to earth to seek their quarry.
    Airedales are of course, too large to go to earth, but they still will dig with great energy.

Airedales are sometimes used as catch dogs when chasing hogs or coyotes.
And Jack Russells are way to energetic for me.

I had a Jack Russell for almost 16 years. He was a 200 pound dog trapped in a 20 pound body. Squirrel dog, hog dog, watch dog, backhoe, and neighborhood cat eradicater.

   One of the best descriptions of a JR that I have heard to this date !

   Here too Phalanx...  I don't want to just shut down anyone who doesn't always "talk my talk".. 
  If we were to do that, we would be doing exactly what we dislike about the radical left.

Agreed. I wouldn't have anybody to talk to.
