The AP has a good story today on the National Transportation Safety Board's concern over the growing threat of bird strikes to airplanes. The NTSB reported on one deadly case in Oklahoma that didn't end like the landing of US Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson River in January. Rather, two pilots and three passengers were killed after their plane hit a large pelican.
The board is meeting today to consider what more needs to be done to avoid bird strikes. Read the artricle at this link.
