Yup, on an Airbus they end up in the Hudson.

There are cheaper ways to make pulled BBQ chicken.

Wow, I haven't heard the B1-RD mentioned since Juan Jimenez used to hang out on rec.aviation (remember RonW?).

Are you sure it wasn't a CGU-11?

I wasn’t aware you could feather the blades on a turbine…

So if my math and understanding of current events is correct, the presidents of 11 US major air carriers are home wondering if there's a way to reduce the number of bird strikes, and there's 1 that's trying to figure out a way to get what's left of the bird out of the engine and charge people for it as meal service.

Not feathers on the turbine blades, but a noticeable residue. And feathers peices can lodge in the cooling passages of the turbine section.
