The Naval Aviation Community is all to aware that smacking any of our fine feathered friends at anything over “On Speed” can be detrimental to ones health (certainly the bird’s) and at minimum can make flying an already inherently unstable Jet slightly more challenging than giving Ted Kennedy dancing lessons.
It is really disheartening for our buddies in the P-3 community when the damn things come up and smack them from behind!
For those that may need reminding. I provide for your digestion some poignant images of the effects of “Feather Blasting”!
And here’s one that had to be especially disturbing to the Co-Pilot of this next corporate jet…the squishy noise behind the CRT was felt more than heard!
Well after that brief reminder of what can happen when the effects of sudden deceleration trauma are shared between flyers, I give you a solution the US Air Force has come up with to help lessen the incidences of collisions, not just with birds, but well… with damn near anything. Certainly there will not be any Republicans getting in the way of this Trash Hauler!
Pretty sure I don’t want to see what’s on the aft cargo doors! Wasn’t Ms Pelosi the one who was all bent outta shape when certain Air Force buses planes were not made available to her and her entourage?
HT: Giorgio (for the idea)
Hahahahaaa, I "WOULDN'T" want to see those cargo afts, but to each his own friend.
