with Ostrich Airlines
Press Release - Ostrich Airlines has taken legal action against Demento Films to prevent release of their so-called comedy movie Ice-Cold Ostrich, allegedly based on our first transatlantic flight. As our pilots can attest, there is nothing remotely humorous about flying across an ice cap with a polar bear hanging from the landing gear. We also strongly contest the inference that the flight improved after the bear entered the cockpit and seized the controls. He bounced the plane several times on landing.
7-27-99Press Release - Ostrich Airlines recently entered into a code sharing agreement with TundraAir on its direct flight from Bismark, ND to the Ostrich Air hub in Gander, Nova Scotia. The CEO of TundraAir is recovering well after his encounter with an unusually frisky Squawky the Ostrich. Some of you may have seen his many unsuccessful attempts at running away on When Good Ostriches Turn Bad (FOX).
