Bird Drop Net Setup

U.S. Air Force Major Parker Hunsuck, 12th Flying Training Wing safety officer, builds an avian capture net system March 25, 2024, at Joint Base San Antonio-Randoph, Texas. The bird capture technique being implemented involves the strategic placement of a net in locations that are known to be frequented by avian species deemed significant threats to aircraft safety. This method, tailored to mitigate the risks associated with bird strikes, employs a system that deploys the net over these critical areas, ensnaring birds that pose potential dangers to flights.
