FOD or Furby?

i just want to know how it got there in the first place.
second the cockpit is a very, very confined space. some starts to fly in this, where nothing is never suppose to–that is not a scenerio they teach you to deal with. a certain portion of pilots will fail to handle the issue. top gun marine pilots -would no even flinch an eyelid!
no i have no tom cruise crush, my cousin lived the movie, and ended up teaching.

“empty-minded”

If *I* were flying a billion dollars of jet and found that an owl was flying around me and crapping in my hair, I would, in fact, scream like a little girl. I can totally see that freaking someone out.

For some reason I cannot see a fighter pilot “freaking out” because a bird was inside the cock pit. Would the owl have caused chaos on the flight? Maybe. Would the chaos be because the pilot lost control while screaming like a little girl? I just can’t go there.

That’s curious — John Hodgman’s “The Areas of My Expertise” clearly indicates the screech owl as a traditional pet of submariners, not air crew.

The link mentioned that the guy worked in wildlife rehab. It seems he would have realized that so much human contact was dangerous to the young owl, and it should not have been released in such a manner.

Better send it to Guantanamo, and hold it for a few years to be sure it’s no insurgent.

That’s actually pretty cool. So it stowed away the last time they were in port?

I wonder if he was a secret agent, sent there to take down the plane. Or perhaps it was just comfy.
