Bird Strike In A 210!!

mtsu_av8er · April 23rd, 2006, 05:45

So, I wondered why the plane I was in this week has a new headliner and was so much prettier inside than the rest of the fleet!

Then I got the story . . .

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 05:46

Holy cow!

BIRDS ON A PLANE!

EatSleepFly · April 23rd, 2006, 05:47

Holy crap! That'll get your attention!

I smacked a decent sized bat in the Caravan once, but it just oozed all over the windscreen, didn't go through.

That's crazy!

Lloyd if found a good ole boy he might have taken that off their hands and had dinner. Nothing like plane kill, instead of road kill.

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 05:49

We hit a bird in the 727 where it hit right on the windshield wiper arm bolt. Split it perfectly in two and greased the captain's and the FO's window in even allotments.

Nasty! Birds have a lot of goo!

At least you know it's fresh!

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 05:51

That's true.

Do they issue you guys hibachi's for long layovers? Can't let that bird go to waste now!

Tim · April 23rd, 2006, 05:53

All you need is a pot, some water, and a few logs to burn and you will have plane kill stew....mmmmmmm

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 05:55

"Smash 'em bake 'em, put 'em in a stew?"

Tim · April 23rd, 2006, 05:56

Doug with those thoughts you could be a redneck fo sure

Screaming_Emu · April 23rd, 2006, 05:57

imagine what the seat looks like!

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 05:57

I work for SouthernJets Innanashnul, what can I say!

Stay tuned for the blog!

Tim · April 23rd, 2006, 05:58

I do miss the morning cookings in the breakrooms...

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 06:15

You can't say you miss the SpeedLine!

Tim · April 23rd, 2006, 06:17

The speedline was good for breakfast and that was it. After that I would rather starve.

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 06:20

That's about how I felt about it! The first two hours were nirvana, anything later, you wished you had just bitten the bullet and went to Mo' Betta Chicken!

Anyone remember that? Anyone! Anyone?

Tim · April 23rd, 2006, 06:23

I do!!! i do!!!!

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 06:27

I remember my first introduction to "Mo Betta" was when I was trying to order a two-piece meal and the two ladies working behind the counter were in a physical fight.

I just wanted to eat, but the customers were almost a second thought once the first swings were thrown.

Tim · April 23rd, 2006, 06:29

Women fighting are always better. They swing fist and grab hair. None of this walking around in circles talking about how bad they are and what they will do to the other person.

Tim · April 23rd, 2006, 06:30

Doug next time in the ATL for morning flight go to Popeyes on B concourse and you will meet to of the most up beat ladies in the whole airport. The manager Edith is a trip.

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 06:32

Is that the "Whatchoo want baby? What's yo side" lady? I haven't been thru the ATL since about October so I dont' remember the characters.

Tim · April 23rd, 2006, 06:33

Thats them. Edith is the on of the 2 heavy set ladies. She is also the louder of the 2. But I tell you what she will make you smile no matter how bad the day sucks at 6 am.

Doug Taylor · April 23rd, 2006, 06:35

That must be her. Reminded me of my aunt before she went to the "dark side" around noon or when her blood sugar trended low.

Tim · April 23rd, 2006, 06:36

That good ole southern hospitality.....I do miss that but not the bending and breaking my back and hustling to a flight to make the bags to be waved off. I do like my desk job
