[TheForge] What the hell?

[Jerry Frost]

Those are windshield tests, search out "Rooster 
Booster" for details.

Sucking a 18-20lb bird through a turbine engine does 
BAD things to both. We lost an AWACS plane here a few 
years ago due to multiple bird strikes. Milspec 707 
lost all four engines on takeoff by flying into a flock 
of Canadian Geese.

Fortunately this plane was ditched in the Hudson by an 
expert flight crew and all aboard got off safely.
