The Navy has hit on the great(?) idea of building a practice landing field adjacent to Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is the winter home to hundreds of thousands of water fowl, all considerably larger than the bird seen sucked into the jet in this video. They already have a practice field in Virginia near their airbase, but people who have moved into the flight patterns are complaining about the noise. It's not helping Virginia's real estate market, which is more important to the Navy than the safety of its pilots. Here is a site that give you some of the story: http://skinnymoose.com/moosedroppings/?cat=44 Please contact your congressmen to help us stop this lunacy. Thanks.
