I use it to prevent United rampers in ORD from breeding.:uzi:

That is the best use of any radar!

Does the use of modern day WX radar help mitigate birdstrikes? I know the ones in the fifties had that effect.

Sounds like a question for Mythbusters.

Perhaps we could adapt that rardar to sterilize the gangstas on the ATL ramp as well.

It sure didn't prevent your birth!

I have flown with a few old timers who fire up the radar to scare birds. They say it messes with the birds sense of navigation.

Sometimes the old dudes know something, sometimes they have had too many reduced rests in a lifetime. I can say that I have not had a bird strike with the radar on.

I think the FAA should just make birds use a transponder...problem solved.

That one scored a 1 out of 10. Weak.

I have hit one with the radar on and one with the radar off. It doesn't seem to make a difference.
