Lamh Foistenach Abu!Yikes!!! I used to fly this route. My brother did too, and still does.
An airplane carrying 135 people was forced to make an emergency landing after hitting a flock of ducks.
The Boeing 737-700 that Conoco Phillips uses to carry oil field workers to the North Slope was forced to land Thursday in Fairbanks after the windshield was cracked.
Per the FAA...no one was injured, and the plane landed without incident.
They started in Anchorage, stopped to pick up more in Fairbanks, but flew into a flock of about 50 ducks after taking off from the Fairbanks International Airport.
The FAA said the windshield has three layers, and the outer one was cracked. The inspector guy said an engine cowling was dented too.
Yikes!!!
Lamh Foistenach Abu!MAN I hear about this from my uncle he fly on this route sometimes
Holy smokes!
Ducks are dangerous I tell ya!!! :)
