Default Birds at Altitude

or been pulling crap out of my face.. it would have been a windshield/radome
encounter.

I have inspected other B-52s where the low level flock of ducks came through
the radome and into the crew compartment.. not fun.

I dodged or rather the bird dodged.. appeared to be an Eagle, Soaring at
FL200 in the mid west, I was in a B-52.. it would have made an ugly mess

if
we had hit.


Yeah, you might have even been required to perform the dreaded 7-engine
approach...
