On 3 December 1976, during the second day, a gust of wind broke the pig free
of its moorings. Because there was no one to shoot the pig down, it sailed
away into the morning sky. A passenger plane reported seeing the pig,
causing all the flights at London Heathrow
Airport<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Heathrow_Airport>to be
delayed
[*citation needed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*].
A police helicopter was sent up to track the pig, but was forced to return
after following the pig to an altitude of 5,000 feet. A warning was sent out
to pilots that a giant, flying pink pig was loose in the area[*citation
needed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*]. The CAA
lost radar contact on the pig near Chatham in Kent, at a height of 18,000
feet and flying East. It finally landed in a farmer's field, without much
damage.
