Tuesday: Mike Pence airport event

fatlazyless · 09-24-2020, 10:41 AM

Is my guess that it was a Canada goose that flew inside a jet engine on Air Force-2 as it was departing Laconia Airport, creating engine sparks and requiring the plane to circle back, land, and get replaced by a second airplane. An Air Force repair team flew in to repair the damaged engine, as well.

Weighing from 10-15 lbs, a Canada goose is an even-steven match in a fight with a bald eagle, so they normally keep their distance from one, another. The head, beak, entire body and energy plus the loud honking sound are its weapon when it goes to repel another invader bird from its territory.

So, what was that Canada goose thinking? ....

Canada geese do not really "think" so much, they seem to act on their learned and inherited instincts and can be very protective of their territory. Honking loud and aggressive honks has given them the name, 'honkers' ....... as in ........ incoming honkers dead ahead ..... arrgghh! ...... pull up, pull up!

.........

Correction: Just learned the plane, Air Force Two, was departing from Manchester Airport, formerly Grenier Field-US Army Air Corps, and not Laconia Airport. Here's the best video news on it I could find ....... www.onemileatatime.com/air-force-2-bird-strike/ ..... "Here's a video, you can see the exact time it happened, about six seconds in ...... " ...... and Team Mike Pence got switched into a C-17 Globemaster for the ride back to Washington D.C.

FLL, his plane flew out of MHT, not LCI.

To be linguistically or syntactically correct, Canada geese are never ever Canadian geese, it is always Canada geese with an upper case 'C' and a lower case 'g.'

They are not Canadian geese, they are Canada geese ...... honk-honk-honk! ...

So, to get this back on topic here, was it a 12-lb, 16-year old Canada goose that flew into the jet engine on Air Force Two, or some other large bird?

"Canada geese can live for 10-24 years and .... are monogamous with most couples staying together all their lives. If one dies, the other may find a new mate." ...... Wikipedia

Why are articles always referring to bird-strikes that are akin to committing bird suicide?

That Canada Goose was flapping his wings "at altitude"—minding his own business—when Air Force 2 scooped him out of the sky.

Maybe it was a wild turkey and not a Canada goose, we don't know?

The January 2009 'Miracle on the Hudson' with Capt Chesley Sullenberger was caused when the plane met up with a flock of Canada geese that got inhaled into the jet engines causing the pilot to make an emergency water landing in the nearby river.

All things considered, a single large bird, even a bald eagle or the very rare flying ostrich, let alone a Canada goose, has no value what-so-ever when compared to an airplane flying with passengers onboard.

And he does it so WELL!
But, FLL, if Canada geese aren't Canadian- what kind of passport do they use?

Here comes more POOP!
