We have to stop picking away at this problem with temporary, limited solutions that only delay the inevitable. I’ve been on technical teams with government and industry, and we have solved some of the most difficult problems involved in the defense of our country, so I know the power of effective collaboration, and I know how achievable these seemingly impossible solutions actually are. I have served with some of the smartest people and the greatest leaders, and I have observed that, ultimately, the greatest problems are solved people feel inspired to act selflessly and tackle each little challenge that arises. When airliners were colliding with other aircraft in the 80s, and when airliners were colliding with the ground, we analyzed the factors involved, isolated the cause, and developed a solution that we then perfected over time.
These were very difficult issues, and our final solution was permanent and well thought-out. I strongly believe that bird targets need to be sent directly to the cockpit; and fortunately, today, we have the technological capability to do so, although the necessary components have not been assembled into the ideal combination – yet.

One Bird Strike and You're Out! Solutions to Prevent Bird Strikes
This book is based on the firm belief that together, the FAA, US Department of Agriculture (USDA), DoD, pilots, controllers, airport managers and biologists all form an important team. Only through collaboration can we properly analyze the increasingly urgent problem of aircraft bird strikes and discover an efficient and effective solution.
