Back for the evening since we had an airplane we had to bring back from Vancouver after a run in with a flock of snow geese. It was a valiant fight, and we won, but not after about $10,000 Damage done by those critters. At about 100ft off the ground the landing lights lit them up (it was very much night). I took one off the radome, and another through the #2 prop and it ended up in the inboad flap. Parts ended up on the wheelspar and along the fuselage, another strike on the wingroot is either a third bird, or more parts...I didn't see any go over the top of the plane...but the flock was around 100 birds. We were lucky to only hit 2-3. I pulled up over the top of most of them...but during the recovery, we decided to miss and bring it back around...The 767 behind us peeled off his approach as well.
I tell ya..too much work for one day...so I get a few free hours at home before returning to our trip tomorrow afternoon.
Blah...pics in a few mins |
Well looks like everyone is having a wonderful day.
I did have one good thing happen today...my Red Wing boots came back from the shop resoled and with new leather toe caps. My feet will be very very happy starting tomorrow. These boots are soooooooooooo comfortable. And they should be they run 200 bucks a pair lol.
Ate some chicken noodle soup, did some dishes, bought a lottery ticket. Should go over to the grocery store in a little bit. BUt I might just decide to forget it until tomorrow. But I really should get some milk and bread and lunch type stuff for tomorrow. And hope that I feel ok in the morning.
