Two F-16s taxi out on the runway at Balad AB on November 9th, 2007, as a flock of small birds is seen flying over them. Last year alone bird strikes caused $42 million in damage to Air Force aircraft. The 332nd AEW flight safety office with support from volunteers has helped reduced the number of bird strikes here by 30 percent in November. [USAF photo by MSgt. John Nimmo Sr.]
