Geocache Description:

Airports around the world have problems with birds that cause major damage to both landing and taking off. They can get sucked into the engines and cause a major engine failure. They can strike the leading edge of the wing or the cockpit windshield and cause it to shatter. Many different methods of controlling the bird population from using different methods of noise. There is the use of trained Falcons to chase them from runway approaches and departure paths.

On final approach to the airport; the correct one, I might add; the pilots had witnessed a murder. The Tower radioed to them, that upon landing, the crew should Muster on the tarmac next to the nose wheel of their aircraft. Every three letter agency seemed to have assembled and because there were Snowbirds on the tarmac, even the RCMP and CSIS were represented. When the crew were assembled as instructed, they were approached by the authorities top Sleuth and were questioned about what they saw and where. The co-pilot seems to be in a bit of a funk and asked if someone could get him a big Gulp from the 7-11. The answer was a resounding no, and for some reason the co-pilot started reciting the lyrics from that old CCR song "Out My Back Door". Under the circumstances, it almost seemed to make some sense. The news of the murder was out, thanks to a tweet from someone in the terminal and an Army of reporters and spectators had assembled causing terrible problems for the airport authorities. At this point it was announced that not a single Flight would be leaving or arriving until the Mob of spectators could be cleared from the area. Not too long afterwards, the authorities had solved the puzzle, the murder was cleared, the crowds were dispersed and airport operations were back to normal.
