Plane gets a bovine licking after emergency touchdown
A herd of beef cattle at Te Horo, Kāpiti, surround a plane that touched down in their paddock on Sunday.

It was Sunday afternoon and Bryn Whyman was sitting at his Te Horo, Kāpiti, home looking out the window. "All of a sudden we saw a plane coming down onto the [paddock]," he said.

Did the pilot declare an emooogency?
My head hurts with that one!
Aw, Geez. Take my +1 and get outta here......
Hardly a "crash" landing as stated by one person. Obviously does not know the difference between a crash (broken and cut up aeroplane) and a very well executed touch down [:>)
I trained as a pilot in New Zealand back in the 1990s and it was a lot of fun, but very challenging. There's one airport with train tracks running across the runway; you have to watch for the signal and break off your approach if a train is coming.
With the changeable weather, hilly terrain and very few airports, it's not hospitable if you lose an engine. But the people are so friendly and laid back, it was a really amazing place to live.

They just wanted to beef up the plane!
