"I'd be more worried about the Canadian geese than a Lanzo."
Agreed, though I'm even more worried by bald eagles. They think they own the sky. Sure is pretty to look out the window at one off your wingtip, though!
I brought up the Lanzo vs. C-17 thing because of what I've seen of bird and goose strikes on those aircraft. The amount of damage from an impact with anything at 450 kts is unbelievable. A goose, for example, will blow a nose radar to small pieces. That's after it puts a gaping hole in the fiberglass nose cone. Small hail leaves interesting injuries too...
Back on topic with us...
"I'd be really curious what the FAA would think if we called them up..."
Please do us all a favor and don't. ;) No, really, the FAA really are that unreasonable.
Thanks for getting ahold of the right folks. Sad to say I don't have the right high-up connections. On the other hand I've got a few political connections (some of whom have already been notified) who might be able to get the ball rolling on that side.
