Aviation expert using four engine jet model explaining a bird strike in a two engine jet - here's your sign. Damn geese are all over the area now, looking for open water and of course finding none at -23C
Hilarious....yeah, grabs a small 747 model, and points to the number three engine...SWA caught a bird in number one. AND yeah, as the F/A said, it does smell bad.

Feathers burning smells as bad as burning hair. Plus, the other stuff....
