Sometimes it DOES take a little rocket science. This is a true story. Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets, all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea was to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields. American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains. Arrangements were made and a gun was sent to the American engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers watched in shock as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin. The horrified engineers sent Rolls Royce the film of the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions. Rolls Royce replied with a one-line response, defrost the chicken.

A 737 made an emergency landing at Coolangata here in Qld last week when a flock of ducks hit an engine.

It was roast duck at it's best,apparently they were frightened that the engine would catch fire with all the duck feathers.

Hahahahahahahaha!

Sounds like a power weapon . . . I wonder what else you could stick in there . . . ??

LOL

Perhaps the Yanks were testing for winter operations with Blizzard conditions?! ;-)))

Sounds like one of the Swedish Chefs receipes....and today 'Poultry in Motion'...

What does the RSPB have to say about the boys at Rolls Royce? Any charges for Poultryzide using Weapons of Fowl Destruction?
