Unusual Raptor problem

[ricardian]

In June, the US Air Force had to call on an apiarist for help after more than 20,000 bees swarmed at the exhaust of an F-22 Raptor. (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/15/f22_grounded_by_bees/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook)

Any honeycomb used in the F-22's construction?

[Captain Dart]

Maybe they thought it was a drone.

So the Americans gave up counting at 20K, that would never happen in the RAF, every one of the blighters would need to be accounted for. :p

[Buster Hyman]

The Raptors sting in the tail huh?

[MPN11]

Re-designate the aircraft as a B-22??

[Buster Hyman]

Quite a sticky situation I imagine...

[Hempy]

No doubt just waiting for the honey wagon to arrive.

[andytug]

Or they thought it was an F/A-18?

[Tashengurt]

Was it a hangar queen?

[Innominate]

So the work was hived off?

Did you hear they arrested the Tech who called out "Hey honey" for sexual harassment?

[Tashengurt]

Who's judging this?

[Pontius Navigator]

Queen Bee?

[Out Of Trim]

The pilot said his Raptor gave him one hell of a buzz! :}

[Buster Hyman]

You're all pollen my leg.....

[Wensleydale]

Was the pilot a B-Cat?

[sitigeltfel]

"Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower."

[Prangster]

Twas the bee all and end all it was

[desk wizard]

[SASless]
