There was an aviation event in Florida, I believe, where a private pilot was doing some Sunday flying in a single engine aircraft. Following the incident the pilot declared an emergency to the tower. As is customary during an emergency declaration the airport was closed to traffic and the runway cleared. The pilot landed successfully, stopped in the middle of the runway, and exited the aircraft quickly. He proceeded to get on his hands and knees to barf repeatedly. Apparently while boring holes in the Florida sky he struck a vulture which came through the wind screen and splattered vulture parts throughout the cabin. Now, I am not sure this qualifies as a true emergency but the pilot certainlu thought so. Mike Franzen might concur.
