Owl Qaida..... too funny!! But get it right.... one Canada goose, 2
Canada geese.... and there is no way to prove its birthplace so you can't call them Canadian, eh?? Since they are a nice blend of black and white and all shades in between they may just be American. BTW, some knee jerk reactors out there called for jet intake screens for such avian collisions.... forgetting the obvious force of a 30 pound bird at 500 knots... but today on the Military channel I saw an early Luftwaffe jet with just such screens. I bet it did not take long for them to figure out what a bad idea that was. Keep 'em coming! Bob Obviously another avian terrorist like those "Canadian Geese" that brought down that Airbus A320.

...one Canada goose, 2 Canada geese.... Absolutely, hence the quote marks around "Canadian Geese." We had a pair of Canada geese at our house when I was growing up. They were fiercely territorial and made great watch animals. The one we called Warpaint once grabbed onto an unruly stray dog with his beak and proceeded to beat the living crap out of it with the knobs at the elbows of his wings. It was a sight, and that dog gave our house a wide berth ever after. BTW, some knee jerk reactors out there called for jet intake screens for such avian collisions.... Yeah, I heard that on an NPR show a few days after the incident. Amtrak is ready when they are. Thanks, Bob K. |
