I saw a plane take off at an airport recently and I thought about how geese might be a problem there. Geese are known to fly into planes sometimes which is bad because it could hurt people on the plane or damage the aircraft itself. Some airports have measures in place like netting around runways to keep geese away but those can get damaged too if they’re not maintained properly. I wonder how much of a problem geese really cause for aviation security and whether there are any other ways that airports could prevent them from flying into planes without using nets or fencing.

    geese on runways, what’s the big deal? they’re just birds trying to make their way through. people get all worked up about it but honestly who cares if some geese fly into a plane every now and then? planes are made of metal not feathers so I’m sure no one is going to die from a little bird collision. airports can’t even keep the humans safe with all these security measures, what makes them think they can stop birds too?

      geese on runways are just another thing that’s gonna happen maybe we should focus on actual safety concerns instead of bird strikes.

        geese and planes both exist now what about the trees falling onto roads before they even get built
