New York is probably the most prosperous and modern megacity in the world, but to many people's surprise, there is also a lot of wildlife living here, with more than 280 species of wild birds appearing in Central Park alone throughout the year, which is even greater in the whole of New York.

The bustling Manhattan steel-concrete high-rise buildings are home to wild birds, not to mention the Long Island area with a good natural ecological environment, even Zhang Nan's own manor has many bird nests, many in the woods, and even the cracks and hollows on the outer wall of the house have become a good place for birds to nest.

As long as you don't clog your chimneys and your nests cloak the roof drains, the staff at the estate will not destroy the homes that the birds have worked so hard to build, because the proprietors and their wives think it's great to wake up in the morning to the sound of birdsong.

But now it is a cold winter, and the relatively large migratory birds have gone to the southern Caribbean to spend the winter, and there are very few large flocks among the resident birds, so Zhang Nan complained there when he heard that the plane was hit by a group of birds.

If it is just a small bird, such as a house sparrow, unless a swarm of dozens of bees sucks into the engine one by one, it is impossible for this Boeing 767 to stop with two engines.

And small birds like sparrows don't fly high, and the plane that took off from JFK Airport will definitely not fly far after stopping at that altitude.

Birds are extremely harmful to the take-off and landing of aircraft, and some planes are always hit by birds every year, so the general airport is equipped with bird repellent equipment, but this cannot completely avoid accidental collision accidents of birds.

The 767 took off from JFK International Airport and was supposed to head southeast into the Atlantic Ocean and then round Long Island for Europe, or it would have made a forced landing at Newark International Airport on the west side of the city or Tetboro Airport on the northwest side.

Nine times out of ten you can't turn back to the take-off airport after the take-off stage stops: once you make a 360-degree turn, the probability of a stall crash is too great, and in that case, it is safest to only adjust the course at a small angle.

I don't know if it was bad luck or good luck, since it was able to glide to Zhang Nan's "Alice-Greenie Airport", 33 kilometers east of Conedy Airport, it means that it was likely to fly at an altitude of more than one kilometer when it was hit by birds, and the take-off course was also more appropriate.

If it is hit at the moment of take-off in the direction of the Atlantic Ocean and the twin engine stops, then either the crash or the forced landing at sea is its only ending!

Away from the tarmac, I was worried that the plane would fall on my head in an accident, and I hoped that the plane had begun to release fuel at sea, otherwise the 767 flight over the Atlantic Ocean was almost full of fuel, and the maximum allowable landing weight was less than the maximum take-off weight.

If something crashes and explodes, if these sixty or seventy tons of fuel are ignited, it is no joke!

Running far away to see the excitement, I will think that the passenger plane that was forced to land on the Hudson River more than ten years later, and one person did not die, was also hit by a group of big birds in winter, because the relevant documentaries and movies I have seen say that the river is very cold, but fortunately, the plane floated on the water after the forced landing, otherwise it would be half frozen to death!

The river was icy cold, and needless to say, it was definitely winter.

The plane also seemed to have been collided at a relatively high flight altitude, so it would not be too strange that 767, which had already appeared in the southwest side of the air visible to the naked eye, was hit by a flock of birds in a relatively high airspace when it climbed.

The plane approaches the airport, and as long as the speed and altitude are sufficient, it will basically land safely.

Not to mention 767, Zhang Nan's airport has no problem even having 747 coming.

Alice Greeney Airport has two intersecting runways, the north-south runway No. 2 is 2,000 meters long, and the northwest-southeast main runway has been lengthened, reinforced and expanded last year to reach 3,200 meters, which can fully meet the requirements of Boeing 747 full load take-off and landing.

The Boeing 747 freighter needs to run about 2,800 meters on the runway when it is fully loaded, and it needs to run more than 1,800 meters when landing with a full load, which is 1 km shorter than the take-off distance - any other civilian aircraft does not exceed this distance, even if the military aircraft is added, then only Maozi's An-225 full load take-off requirements exceed this distance.

The full load take-off and running distance of the An-225 is 3500 meters, but it should be noted that this "running distance" is not the distance above the ground, but includes the distance required for the aircraft to climb to an altitude of 35 meters, and the data requirement of the Boeing 747-400 is 3018 meters, and the cargo plane will be one or two hundred meters away.

The main runway of Zhang Nan's private airport can barely meet the full load take-off conditions of An-225, because there is a "safety reminder section" with a length of 125 meters at both ends of the main runway, which makes the actual length of the entire runway reach 3450 meters, and the full-load ground clearance of An225 is more than 3000 meters.

Moreover, the southeast of the main runway is directly opposite a cemetery with an inclined angle length of more than 800 meters and a flat terrain, and further southeast is a single-family private residential area with a floor height of only two or three floors, which is enough for the An-225 to have enough clearance to climb after take-off.

Of course, everything is not the same, because Zhang Nan has already bought the world's only super transport plane codenamed "Dream", but it is busy with a group of younger brothers An 124 and An 22 to Africa to transport the surplus materials in the warehouse after the Soviet Union is finished.

Even if it is empty, unless there is a transportation business of oversized cargo, the An-225 will not come to the United States, and there is no need for the super-giant to show off at its own airport.

Its own airport take-off and landing conditions rank first among all private airports in the world, and the length of the main runway can cost a lot of money, and the cost of land acquisition is beyond the reach of the average rich.

This time, the 767 that hit the flock of birds had to make a forced landing at its own airport, because private airports all over the United States have an obligation to fulfill, that is, once there is an emergency for a plane, then you have to unconditionally open the airport for those planes.

Great rule, and that's probably the rule all over the world.

Zhang Nan will stand and watch the lively place is already six or seven hundred meters away from the runway, even if the guy in the sky falls headlong, he can't hit his head, but even so, watching the plane glide and make a forced landing is still quite exciting.

However, five or six seconds after discovering the 767 in the air, Zhang Nan found that it was facing the No. 2 runway with a length of 2,000 meters - it should have turned 90 degrees directly from the south, so that the angle of the turn was minimal, and the loss of speed and height was also minimal.

The runway with a length of 2000 meters landed a Boeing 767, which was enough enough.

But just a few seconds later, someone next to Zhang Nan shouted: "It's not good! It's too low, something may happen!"
