Those of you that regularly fly above 3000 AGL can continue to criticize. For the rest...STFU'

So pilot error in OK AEL crash. Flying at 500 feet at night. (NT) +0/-3 Smacked geese. Killed his crew. 2/9/2024 9:01:04 AM

according to the FAA, 90% of the bird strikes +0/-1 occur below 3000 AGL. 2/9/2024 10:57:38 AM

conclusion: flying at 1500 or 2000 wouldn't necessarily (NT) +0/-1 have changed a thing here 2/9/2024 11:13:07 AM

If 90% of bird strikes happen below 3000 ft, where do the other 10% happen? (NT) +0/-1 and how many between 1500 & 3000 ft 2/9/2024 11:36:48 AM

Bingo! So, nobody can say that it wouldn't have happened had the pilot (NT) +0/-1 spruce goose flew at 5 ft Above water 2/9/2024 12:05:26 PM
