Yep, know of one pilot several years ago who ended up in the dam on the left of the runway, due to a nasty crosswind and aquaplaning. The resident croc was initially quite upset, but subsequently used the planes' wing to sunbake on for a few days before it was retrieved on a barge and sent back to Horn Island...the plane that is...not the croc!!!!!!!!!
