It Was A Beautiful Day For Flying... But A Hawk Had Other
Plans
The skies over West Texas March 10, 2005 could have come right
off a picture postcard: blue, cloudless and so clear you
could see horizon to horizon. It was, as one Air Force pilot put
it, a perfect day for flying... but a red-tail hawk had other plans
for an Air Force C-17 Globemaster III.
