Yes but was the Canada Goose thawed or frozen?
Sorry, just me being silly again.
Reference: recent episode of "mythbusters" (SBS TV)
investigating whether in testing aircraft engines for bird strike it makes
a difference if the bird was thawed or frozen. An idiotic experiment if ever
there was one!
The bird / plane issue is a consideration for
Jerrabomberra but I reckon it is a bit of an excuse. Of course after a plane is
destroyed on arrival or departure from Canberra, it will become more important.
It is just a matter of time and probability. It is not just big birds that
impact with planes. As birds are fairly light creatures and E=MCsquared, it is
the velocity of the plane that is the major factor.
