One of my colleagues sent me this pic of a hawk with the following notation:

"I took this picture yesterday while waiting for my turn to takeoff. The Citation was running and the Hawk just sat there. He finally spotted a mouse and went after it."

I recalled that in the past, I'd oft heard that the biggest problem with Citations was bird-strikes...from the rear!
I guess the mouse wasn't a believer. :lol:

Airports are the best game preserves there are. They don't seem to mind jet noise at all.

Maybe he recognized the picture of his buddy painted on the vertical stab?
