KC-10 Refueler Bird Strike KALB
« on: September 25, 2008, 10:05:49 PM »
   KC-10 from McGuire AFB doing pattern work at KALB had bird strikes 1,800 Ft. Did not declare the E-word. Had to land at KALB RWY-10. Right now they are trying to figure if plane flyable back to McGuire. Too big a plane for ramps, so had to park Approach end of RWY 10. 10/28 closed.
   Only equipment suitable ( big enough ) to exam plane is a deicer unit with lights.
   Apparently hit large flock of geese.
   Hope news has photos. 2ND largest plane to land at KALB.
