Flight safety office brings Balad bird strikes down 30 percent
Master Sgt. Brian Saunders lines up his next shot with a 12-gauge shotgun equipped with "bird scare" Dec. 14 at Balad Air Base, Iraq. The bird scare is shot in the general vicinity of nesting birds and makes a loud noise comparable to a bottle rocket to scare the birds away from the flightline area. Sergeant Saunders and base volunteers helped reduce the number of bird strikes by 30 percent in November. Sergeant Saunders is with the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing Safety Office and is deployed from Aviano Air Base, Italy. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Travis Edwards)
