Sharing both the sky and the airport environment with birds and other animals has been a concern to aviation personnel for several years and their impact on aviation safety has been documented over the past eighty-eight years. Since Orville Wright's days to the present day conflicts between wildlife and airplanes have caused damage to aircraft and loss of human life. Over $300 million dollars annually is lost due to wildlife strikes in the United States alone. Attend this informative safety briefing and learn how you can mitigate the risk of a bird strike!
