I live near False Egg Point near Fortescue on NJ side of Delaware Bay where the C5's make there 180deg turns waiting to land in Dover. I do alot of waterfowl hunting in this area also. Around Feb thru mid March theres around 50,000 to 70,000 snowgeese in the area staging getting ready for their sprimg migration to the top of the Northwest Terr. I don't know how many times those low flying C5's come close to running into 50,000 spooked snowgeese taking off. I'm surprised no C5's have crashed yet hitting all those snowgeese. When all those snowgeese takeoff from being spooked all those geese sound like a C5 taking off from Dover.
Sorry for any typos, just got done working nightshift......

Birds are a major danger to those planes.
The area where it went down is a prime area for the snow and Canada geese.

Talking about snowgeese I wonder if that C5 hit a migrating flock of snowgeese????
