Big Birds in the vicinity of 18R this morning
Hi Guys,
Yours truly flew into AMS on RWY 18R this morning at approx 1 hour before the crash and was airborn from RWY 24 at 0900z.
During the final approach we encountered a small flock of VERY big birds that were roaming around 500'. We nearly hit one on the left side.
I was landing and had not to much eye for the birds but my F\O noticed them being big and Goose sized.
Not trying to lead on about probable causes for that very unfortunate Turkish crew but thought it was worth while mentioning.
Regards
