Closed jakewhite8 closed 9 years ago

Potentially the airlines that primarily fly through migratory paths

The answer is military planes. If asking about commercial airlines, United Airlines is the most notorious for crashing into birds. screen shot 2014-09-29 at 6 27 36 pm

Taking into account the number of in-flight hours, what is the normalized rate? Military planes might just be in the air more.

nikitavoskoboynik commented 9 years ago

I thought about that as well, but there is no data on how long the flights were, so there is not way to take that into account.

i just measured the amount of days each airline was in the air http://i.imgur.com/WZISSBB.png if my data is correct it looks like united airlines and southwest are both in the air each day more than the military
