What: Tiara Air Aruba Shorts 360-100 en route from Las Piedras Venezuela to Aruba
Where: Las Piedras
When: Dec 5th 2011
Who: 29 passengers, 4 crew
Why: Taking off from Las Piedras, the plane struck a donkey with its right main gear.

Pilots continued on to Aruba where they made a safe landing.

There were no injuries. Apparently the forecast for repair is better in Aruba than Las Piedras.

Actually, that’s one thing I never thought I’d need to say
