cravnravn Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share 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.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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
