Langley officials fight to keep F-22s from being damaged
Tom Olexa shoots pyrotechnics in front of the runway here to disperse a flock of birds before a pair of F-22 Raptors (background) take off March 5 at Langley Air Force Base, Va. Wet areas around the runway attract all sorts of wildlife, including birds, which pose a hazard to launching aircraft. Mr. Olexa, a U.S. Department of Agriculture wildlife biologist, works with the 1st Fighter Wing's Bird and Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard team. (U.S. Air Force photo)
