American Airlines reported during climb from Paris, at 10,000 feet, the airplane struck multiple birds impacting various locations on the aircraft. One bird entered the flight deck via the P1-1 panel on the captain's left side. All flight controls and systems functioned normally. The crew returned to Paris where an uneventful landing was made . . .

I failed to mention that the birds in question were geese . . . One bird blew right thru the radome and into the flight deck, destroying the instrument panel . . .

That would be scary! Glad it was an uneventful outcome

On the drive back to IN from FL on spring break, we hit a crane (the enormous bird) with our jeep. It smacked right into our windshield and scared the poop out of one of our buddies who was asleep at the time. Random story I guess, but oh well.

Another reason to hate geese.

I've hated them for years because they settle in my pond and commence to coat the entire bank and yard with dog-turd sized crap-piles.

One thing about geese though......they hate being shot!

Andy, the Maryland state parks are full of them.

Do you know how to prepare them? Are they as fatty as duck?

Larry Bird got hit by a plane?!

Hey 8, Get in trouble did ya?

Nope.

5 minutes of catching up on things, and back up she went. I might change things up and have my Son put ME to bed tonight.

Bushed.

That plane must have hit Big Bird. Big Bird has always bugged me.

It hit a flock of geese . . . a whole bunch of geese . . .

Flock of Seagulls?

'And I raaaaaaan, ran so far awa-ay,

Aaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh . . .

Just say no, Just say no . . .

Remember that stupid hair-doo that lead singer had ?

Damnit 8 . . .

Now You've Got That Song Stuck in My Head . . .

Loved em'.

The song, and the haircut.

It was so bad, it was good.
