I was reading a 4lb bird has a 6 ton impact on a plane in flight and average Canadian Goose weighs 15 lbs that is mind boggling to think what that will do to a fan in a turbine jet engine they are very precise and balanced a gram or 2 can throw the whole thing out of whack.

I was an amazing story

You do realize the birds were probably NOT actually from Canada, right?

Actually the correct term is "Canada Geese"...NOT "Canadian Geese", which infers Nationality. BTW: You people better get over it because Canada Geese are a Protected Species. :yes: :yes: John

I'll buy that but the geese in question probably were from the south bronx

which would make it a YO YO MOFO GOOSE
