Bird strike

SHORT FINAL...

Bored Royal Air Force pilots stationed on the Falkland Islands have devised
what they consider a marvelous new game. Noting that the local penguins are
fascinated by airplanes, the pilots search out a beach where the birds are
gathered and fly slowly along it at the water's edge. Perhaps ten thousand
penguins turn their heads in unison watching the planes go by, and when the
pilots turn around and fly back, the birds turn their heads in the opposite
direction, like spectators at a slow-motion tennis match. Then, the paper
reports, "The pilots fly out to sea and directly toward the penguin colony
and over fly it. Heads go up, up, up, and ten thousand penguins fall over
gently onto their backs." --Audubon Society Magazine
