Goose at FL 360????

Dono...

But they are (at least the Canada Geese) remarkably efficient
flyers..

Seem to fly with hardly any effort at all..and highly organized in
groups....sorry.. "flights"

I'll bet that goose didn't have a clearance either! What I wonder, is
how could you be sure it was a goose at that speed? Maybe they did DNA
analysis on the stain left on the windshield.

How did they know it was a goose?

Geese have been sighted flying over Mt Everest (29,035')

From the article, "helicopters cannot fly here."

Not anymore!!! Of course, the article was written in 2000 so it
was a valid statement then.

That *record* was reported to be a hoax...

I haven't heard about any other attempts...

Only in the way that "landing" was defined. It just briefly "rested" one
skid on the summit, but never really stopped flying.
