Amsterdam airport officials employed a herd of pigs to stop birds flying into plane engines

Why permit planting that type of crop so close to such an airport? It’s known that birdlife will come in to feed after cropping.
Will management take note for next time. pigs might fly!!

This is no good...what is to stop the pigs from flying into the engines? :-)

And then there is a story of a pig on the runway bringing down a F-16.

Well, now when an engine ingests the local fauna you won't get that "baked chicken" smell... you'll get bacon!

The porcines deserve a first class seat as reward. Ya know - when pigs fly ....

the wonderful, unique thing about the amsterdam international airport is that it is more a working farm with runways than anything else. The Dutch are ingenious, hard working folks, experts in hydrology, and are practical folks who got it right on land utilization, being that the dutch have reclaimed thousands of acres from the north sea with dikes and embankments.
