But OTOH...it does not make all that much difference.
IF you should EVER hit a large bird at high speed, the results are not pretty.
Case in point:
727 approaching Khartoum, high speed at low level, hit a vulture and the bird went..
through the radome, forward pressure bulkhead,
broke the First Officers left leg,
through the flight deck door,
and ended up in the F/C lounge.
Personally viewed the damage.
NOT nice...at all.
