Birds at Lelystad Airport

[Guest]

Yes, I finally saw them. And even in that superb airport scenery by Mannie Garmy. Thanks a lot for this scenery !!!!!!!! (BTW what is your nationality?).I made some screenshots, but the birds were far away. When I tried to taxi to them I pressed the CTRL+TAB buttons just a fraction of a second too late, so they flew over my head and were not to see on the picture. Hope you can see them on one of the earlier ones.

Hans, Johnny,In the beginning I did not see those birds at all. It took quite some time before I saw them for the first time. However, nowadays I see them about every single flight. My default take-off airport is EHRD and generally they are somewhere in front of me while sitting on RWY 24. At one time I had two flock of birds at the same time. And I'd swear that at least once I saw them land on the field and take off a bit later again. Henri

Birds scare me. On the taxiway, in the air, I'm really worried about a bird striking my air-screw, then cloging my air intake or smashing my windscreen. http://flytsim.itgo.com/sigi.jpg

Hans,Nice shots, I saw only once birds in Fly! The only birds I see during the day are those bloody pigeons we have here in Amsterdam pooping on your windshields.Glad you liked Lelystad.Mannie
