FISH Strike !??!

[Darkwolf]

There are fish stories and then there is this.

 

On the morning of Sept. 10, MacDill Air Force Base wildlife manager Lindsey Garven was called out to search the runway for a dead bird.

 

A short while earlier, a Gulfstream G-IV jet from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration rumbled down the runway until the crew noticed it hit something.

 

At first they thought the jet hit an osprey and aborted the flight.

 

Garven could not find any dead birds.

 

But she did find something else

DCS is not realistic. We don't have the Fish Strike slider in options.

From this book:

The FAA gets two thousand “bird strike” reports in a typical year, but an estimated eight thousand strikes never get reported. Gulls account for one-third of the collisions, followed by ducks/geese/swans, blackbirds, doves, and raptors. (The FAA also keeps track of ground collisions with other wildlife. In a typical year, deer are struck by planes forty-three times. Other collisions involve coyotes, dogs, skunks, muskrats, and possums. Reptiles are a smaller risk, although planes struck two alligators from 1992 to 1996.)

Haha! Would love to see her face when she found it!
