"Our Chuck the chicken loves to go to work at the Wyoming Air National Guard. He gets to fly like no other chicken before him, 10,000 feet up through the clear blue Wyoming skies, with the purr of 4 C130 engines pushing him along. Sometimes he gets bossy with the crew, and they threaten to drop him out of the back of the plane along with the pallets they are carrying.
"On occasion, Chuck gets a little too excited and doesnt obey the rules of the airfield. Most recently, he ran across the runway (road, same thing) and ALMOST met dire consequences, and was sucked into an intake of passing plane, like so many of his other feathered bretheren before him. Luckily he doesn't have feathers, and managed to hang on for dear life till I could pluck him from the jaws of death.
"Tomorrow, Chuck will be learning how to parachute from the troop door!"
