Ramstein students dive into Earth Day
A falconer with the 86th Airlift Wing Flight Safety Office assists a sixth-grade student from Ramstein Middle School with putting on a leather glove to hold and feed a peregrine falcon as a part of the Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard demonstration presented for Earth Day April 16, 2015, at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. The show demonstrated to the students how the falcons dive to catch their prey and explained how they are used to prevent other birds from interfering with planes that are taking off or landing on the flightline.
