I believe RAF Kinloss in the north of Scotland has restrictions on take offs and landing at a certain time in morning and evening due to the large flocks of geese passing over the airfield each day in perfect formation!

Lol.

This is why:

Quote:

18 November 1980. XV 256 crashed on take off. The aircraft suffered a major bird-strike immediately after take off and crashed into a wooded are to the east of RAF Kinloss air base. Sadly, both pilots were killed but, due to their skill in controlling the crash, the remainder of the crew escaped. Posthumously, Flight Lieutenant Anthony, the flying pilot, was awarded the Air Force Cross and his Co-Pilot, Flying Officer Belcher, the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air.
