deeshopper Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I like the Atlanta one better. The white is lame. Doesn't look finished. Quote
BengalBilly Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I like the Atlanta one better. The white is lame. Doesn't look finished. Looks like a double bird strike. Quote

cravnravn Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) The hat trick for bird strikes. Ahh Billy, did you have to put it that way?? Something about the word "bird" and jet engines make me nervous everytime I board a plane. Edited October 28, 2009 by cravnravn Quote

Something about the word "bird" and jet engines make me nervous everytime I board a plane.As a FAA certified A&P mechanic, I can tell you birds are always a threat to an aircraft. Especially jet aircraft. Personally I worry more about complacent pilots either sleeping, or twittering on their laptops. Quote
