Hmm, what sort of bird leaves yellow guts when it hits an airplane at speed ?

I know how the poor guy feels, I once had a pelican do a "flying bird turd" on my windscreen  when doing 120 on the motorway :icon_nif:

Looking good.  You can also get minions from RetroSF.  Here is one example:

You can't outrun Death forever.
But you can make the Bastard work for it.
