intruder
when one maneuvers any kind of plane, one should realize safety margins. my dodging has happened in small planes and B737's out of LGA.
You and I will never know if I would have missed the birds without evasive action.
Perhaps an FAA sponsored bird encounter of the third kind might be a useful project for bailout funding.
you just have to miss the intakes by an inch to have been successful (windshield too)
Of course, if you are not looking out the window, you have other problems. Sadly, most airliners require looking at the instruments more than outside. We may have to retrain ourselves to realize there are hazards in the sky NOT under ATC control
