The Federal Aviation Administration is convinced that pigs can fly. Now its investigators are trying to sort out how and why a 300-pound porker went hog wild after it was allowed to fly first class aboard a non-stop US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Seattle. The animal slept for most of the Oct. 17 six-hour flight, but as the Boeing 757 taxied to the terminal in Seattle, the squealing beast ran through the plane, discharging feces, and tried to get into the cockpit before taking refuge in the aircraft's food galley. The pig was last seen being hauled off the plane and into an airport elevator by its two owners and another passenger.
