Pigs can't fly unless you strap a JATO pack to them ... but I know a moose that can
I have no idea if this story is true but who cares ...
They were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. He was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them. They noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem. He was still alive when they lowered him to the ground. He was a huge 60 inch bull and slightly peeved!
Having just checked, Snopes says it is true.

Yes, it is true. That moose in the photo was hoisted during construction of a new powerline outside Fairbanks, Alaska.
The sad news is the moose was in really bad shape and did not live. He was up there over an hour.
