Birds are a constant danger for airplanes both big and small, so many airports employ the use of pyrotechnic "Bird Bangers" that are shot into the air and produce a loud noise that keeps birds out of the area where planes are. This airport manager shoots a "bird banger" along the main runway several times a day to keep the birds away. EDITORIAL USE ONLY
