Ned Gravel Posted September 29, 2016 Report Posted September 29, 2016 When I was working for a continent-wide lab conglomerate, the CEO (world HQ was in UK) would often come to Toronto and spend time with our C-suite folks because we did not have a North America President yet. In his younger years, he used to be a Tower/Approach/Centre controller for the UAE portion of the Gulf Coast nations. One day in September of 2010, (he knew I was making use of my Mooney to visit our labs) he showed up in my office and dropped this approach plate on my desk. Made for interesting conversation. 1 Quote
Andy95W Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Ned, this whole terrible accident would never have happened if you folks had kept your Canadian Geese on your side of the border. I wonder, do they qualify as illegal immigrants, terrorists, or both? Quote
Ned Gravel Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Uh.... Canada Geese (name of species) and not Canadian Geese (belonging to Canada).... And don't they spend more of their year with ya'll? As a result of this accident, the famous chicken cannon, at the National Research Council (here in Ottawa) Institute for Aerospace Research will probably have to be upgraded to a goose cannon. The thing fires a frozen chicken at fuselage, engine, and wing parts to determine impact damage. Apparently not big enough to determine the damage from the most insidious and stupid bird in existence. Seagulls will scoot off the runway when we move from the taxiway to line up. Canada Geese are too stupid to do that. Don't ask me how I know this. 1 Quote

Okay, I'll stop blaming Canadians for "your" geese crapping everywhere. (BTW, my wife and I count meeting you and the rest of the Mooney folks one of our best times at OSH this year.) Quote
