Title: Seal Shuts Down Airport
Post by: KB4TEZ on October 27, 2017, 12:45:30 PM
just when you thought you've seen/heard it all

It's not unusual for wildlife to wander onto airport runways, but a large seal actually caused an airport in rural Alaska to shut down operations when he decided to take a break there this week.  The 450-pound seal could be seen stretched on the runway of Wiley Post-Will Rogers Memorial Airport.  Animal control came out and eventually moved the mammal using a heavy-duty snow blower and a sled.
