Well, Don... I can't say thet you are correct or incorrect but will say that with the number of bird hits every year and the subsequent deaths that if screens could work the engineers would have had 'um on the engines by now... Ain't a matter of looks but safety...

As fir the geese, Eb, I donno... I do know that as of today no wolves have been sucked into no jet engines...

Now here's one even better... According to the news tonight the NTSW has had it's first discussions with the pilot??? Hmmmmmmm??? What is wrong with this piccure??? Why is it that this guy's wife has been in constant contact with him??? Why isn't he home with her??? Where the heck is he, anyway??? Why does it take so long for the folks who want to know what happened to get to talk with him???

Lastly, how do you spell "Miricle-on-the-Hudson-Gate"???

Somehting stinky goin' on here and ya'll can take that to the bank... 'Er river... 'Er yer favorite goose pond...
