Interesting quote he
"On an F-18, you have two motors, and if they take [a bird] in the
engine, it could cause engine failure and shut that down," he said. He
said the plane is capable of flying in excess of 450 mph.
An F-18 can fly in excess of 450 MPH.. Who would've guessed?
Yes, and I've never seen a motor propelling a jet before either...
