Amazing how some pilots just love to bore down at high speed (320 knots plus) below 10,000 and even below 5000 ft risking lives in an area where birds fly and the damage to the windows (and crew) could be fatal. Good fun and macho and all that stuff but potentially deadly. Maybe they rely on their radar to frighten birds out of the way...read earlier posts re radar myths.
