Durn B1-rd. Never know when they'll strike.

I like to watch C-130s in any form. That is one I'd like to see.

Bird strikes are no fun when your the guy that has to scrape burnt pureed bird guts out of the AB case so you can put a new set of guts in it. Or fan section, HPC, turbines.... Ever smelled semi-roasted seagull mixed with jet fuel and hot vinton coating?

I like the videos of the AC-130 gunships doing lowlight/night time fire. I'd hate to be on the receiving end for sure... Watching that thing roll down the run way then head dang near straight up spewing flames was amazing. You wouldn't think the airframe would withstand it as well as it does.

Fat Albert going up... on Youtube...
