Apparently did not like airline food so decided to eat the plane instead.
All Headline News – Squirrel Grounds American Airlines Flight In Honolulu – February 15, 2007 — I’ve heard of squirrely flights, but this is ridiculous.
A Dallas-bound American Airlines flight from Tokyo was forced to make an emergency landing in Honolulu after its pilots heard some noise in the cockpit; which later turned out to be a squirrel. Airline spokesman John Hotard told The Honolulu Star-Bulletin, the pilot made the decision to land midway as he feared that the animal could have chewed through wiring or caused other problems.
State Agriculture Department spokeswoman Janelle Saneishi said they killed the squirrel for fears she might be carrying rabies. The rodent was captured by state and federal agriculture and wildlife officials.
This is so funny, and I just finished doing a squirrel + peanut butter story.
I like Macadamia nuts. Had to add that word to the dictionary.
Quick, call Wesley Snipes we have the sequel. “Squirrels on a Plane!”
the need to embed these edible rfid tags into the aircraft obviously – lol

…And Bush will start saying that Al Qaeda has begun training wild animals to commit acts of terrorism, thus using it as an excuse to wipe out ancient forests.
It’s pretty amazing how this squirrel made its way up into this aircraft’s cabling ductwork. We have a squirrel problem in our neighborhood. They go under the hood of your car and chew through the electrical cable bundles for nesting material. A neighbor of mine had the replace an entire wiring harness under the hood of his car. This is something to take seriously, especially flying over the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Let’s feed the squrrels Peanut Butter!
J/P=?
The squirrel tested negative for rabies. I have no words for government stupidity of this kind.
