The canopy of an A-10 Thunderbolt II is readied for testing at the Bird Impact Range at Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee, in the early 1970s. The facility, commonly referred to as the “Chicken Gun,” was used to simulate in-flight bird strikes to aircraft canopies and other materials by launching chicken carcasses at test articles. The first shot from the Chicken Gun was fired 50 years ago. (U.S. Air Force photo)
