GA after multiple birdstrikes on short finals, maybe not but I can understand some of the concept behind the thoughts here. To reflect on BOAC thoughts on bird trajectories, probably they would fly down to ground, it is us whose instinct maybe to fly up away from the incident. After all, most things going wrong on short finals get the TOGA switches twitching.... maybe.. bang bang bang - maybe a tweek of power then find the big grey hard long thingy in front of me, tighten sphincter and land. Stop as safely as possible, if necessary, let PNF sort out drills, relax sphincter and deal with the problem ( just dont relax sphincter too much - your FO wont appreciate it )
Total kudos to all for keeping the damn thing straight and stopped on the black stuff - I wonder how many of us would look again at this thread if it happened to you tomorrow
Maybe someone will "chirp" in for back-up to Mr Greaser Sr...... after all everyone has flipped him the "bird"... sorry getting coat...
