Check out what happened to this SAAF 707 in Kindu. If you look really close you can see the bird in his nest on the bottom right.

Jees Duncs, from an investigator's point of view I'm not so sure that was a birdstrike!

I think we're actually looking at the new Top Secret SAAF mod Zeta, which expounds the theory that instead of an afterburner, you make use of a foreburner (similar to a foreskin).

I recall this very principle being used by the Draadkar flingwing types (can of Doom and a zippo) to get their Artoustes fired up in a hurry?

At least its a nice variation on the old SAAF adage of "birdstrike, but the bird was still in the tree".:D
