“..some of the operators would turn on the radar frying the birds. They would fall down to the deck where other crew men would kick them overboard. Then the officers would come out and yell at everyone involved.”
Officers don’t have to clean the bird droppings off the antenna, the boat, etc.
Pennsylvania. I put it in the keywords.
That episode is on hulu.com.
Free airkill. Roast with potatoes and cranberries.
Reminds me of the old joke/story. Two airplanes were lining up to take off, when the control tower contacted them to tell then that there was a dead deer on Runway 7.
The first plane confirmed it and said it would avoid it. The second plane radioed the tower, saying: “We see it and have already notified our caterer.”
Bon Appetit!
Wonder if hail could have an effect....konking on the heads as a shock (concussion) and then they fall to the ground.
Just a guess...not an expert!
Re “Cackling geese”. Did anyone see Nancy Pelosi in that flock? Any flock? I swear I heard her flying overhead near DC in a flock of Canadian Geese. A worse cackle than that of the Wicked Witch of the West. Oh, she IS the Wicked Witch of the West. Sorry.
The WKRP turkey drop.
My dad told that when he was a kid in depression times (New York state) he delivered newspapers early in the morning. One morning there were dead geese all over the fields. The folks in the area had goose for dinner for a couple of days. The geese probably flew into a thick cloud bank and couldn’t see. They will just fold up their wings and fall to the ground. Ducks will do the same thing.
