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.

    planes should be worried about the real threats not just feathered ones

      planes have many predators besides birds maybe they should consider that too red squirrels can cause some damage.

        planes also face technical issues sometimes before reaching their destination.
