| Agent Smith  |  Birds on a plane!
A picture a pilot from my airline took as he was in a line of planes taxiing. The birds are still sitting on the wing as the aircraft taxis:

My right engine ate one of those guys for breakfast this morning. They are much better off sitting on the wing there then floating around on final at 1500 feet.

I'm seriously asking though, is that where the fuel dumps from?

No, no, Doug. It's bees on a plane. "I am sick of these muddaf***ing bees on a muddaf***ing plane!" http://online.wsj.com/search/date.ht...69253608736880 Bees on a Plane Are A Real-Life Problem Vexing Some Pilots They Like Yellow and Jet Fuel And Are Riled by Black; Big Buzz in the Southwest "Snakes on a Plane" may be the hot horror movie of the summer, but bees on planes are creating the most buzz in some aviation circles. Africanized honey bees -- the infamous "killer bees" -- are increasingly making unscheduled layovers at airports across the Southwest. The aggressive bees, which entered the U.S. from Mexico in the early 1990s, like to travel across open spaces and stop to rest whenever the queen gets tired. Airports have few trees or other natural rest stops. That makes planes, jetways, baggage-loading equipment, terminals and parking garages popular for stopovers. That is creating scenes like one that unfolded at Love Field in Dallas last April. Gordon Guillory, a 39-year-old Southwest Airlines mechanic, knew something wasn't right when he arrived at the hangar for his shift: A buzzing noise was coming not from the engine but from the tail of the Boeing 737-700. "You really couldn't see them, but you knew there were tons of them in there because there were so many that would fly out," he says. "I've been working on airplanes for 15 years and I've never, ever seen anything like it." The mechanics watched from a safe distance as the beekeeper smoked out and vacuumed up the bees. When the beekeeper started banging on a compartment in the tail to chase out the swarm, the mechanics became even more agitated. "The guys started yelling at him. You just can't do that. You could damage the plane," Mr. Guillory explains. |
