This reminds me of That Fr Ted Episode, The Aircraft is big and the Birds are far away, a Good Trick Photo methinks.

Dramatic moment birds engulf plane

This is the moment a flock of birds flew up from a runway, engulfing a U.S. Navy E-6B plane as it came in to land.

5:25PM GMT 17 Nov 2010
The pilot was able to land the £88 million plane safely – in the past, when birds are caught in the engine of a plane, it has caused engine failure.

The birds were feeding on grass next to the runway at the Fort Smith Regional Airport in Fort Smith, Arkansas, US, and for an unknown reason took off just as the plane made its final descent.

The dramatic images were captured by photographer Kaia Larsen as she drove past the airport on Oct 29.

I'm almost certain this is a case of the distance being compressed by a long lens!! Those birds would want to be huge to be that size against a big aircraft!!

With a plane that deep into a flock of birds you would have expected body parts to be flying everywhere and see damage on the aircraft.

The birds are clearly between the photographer and the aircraft, a non story really.

Your right there Frankie!
