    A nice picture of your Dad, Taz. That supercharger scoop on the P-47 was big and it scooped up more than air and people. At Hondo a P-47 on take off scooped up a buzzard that splattered itself all over the engine and what was left went into the scoop. The airplane induction system had to be disassembled and a lot of the scoop and supercharger parts were put in an ant hill, the residents of which cleaned it better then we could have. A great airplane and those who flew it were just as special. The buzzard left an awful stinky mess and it wasn't as special.

    Bob- Over my career I collected a couple of dozen birds flying low level, the largest of which was a sea gull. Looked like a Cessna as we hit it. It hit the spike, which apparently exploded it, and all the parts were digested by the left TF-30 with no problems.

    Plovers were the majority of my hits, and all in Europe and Turkey. We took out the same crew chief's airplane at Incirlik, Turkey two days in a row (slats mostly), and she asked us not to fly her aircraft any more. Incirlik's range and low level airspace were on a major bird migration route.

    Art:



    Graffiti artists Roids and Sat One with their completed Boeing 737-700 graffiti project at an airfield in Gloucestershire. A team of graffiti artists were given the opportunity to tackle their biggest project yet - a Boeing 737 passenger jet. Hangfire, a Bristol based art collective took seven days to complete the project on an airfield in Gloucestershire. The disused Lucky Air jet was due to be scrapped by salvage experts Air Salvage International who will completely dismantle the aircraft selling all its components for recycling or re-use. The oversized canvas, which measures 12 metres high and 39.5 metres long, was given a monochrome design featuring letters and geometric shapes by artists including Sat One and Roids. Ben Mason from Hangfire said: 'Reaction to the art has been great especially from plane spotters who visit the airfield and are amazed by the scale of the artwork.'Picture: SWNS.com
