Default Geese at 18000ft

Havent posted this for a while but it will make you think when you are
next flying commercial.

Way back in distant time I was having some fun on a wave flight out
of Minden when we saw 100's of Canada geese wave soaring. While we
were capped to FL18 there were lots of Geese above us in the FL19-20
range.

With the A320 in the Hudson imagine ploughing into these guys at 3-500
mph on the approach to RNO.
