Huge swarm clogs the engines.
I can see that happening-it has happened with bird strikes...
Sands of the Kalahari is not a bad movie worth watching if you have never seen it. Stanley Baker character is closest to “hero” of the story, but mostly all characters have their strengths and weaknesses. Good story about human interaction in bad situation. Locusts only show up at start of movie, other than human faults, main protagonists are baboons.
