@professionalbigot69 I asked an F16 crewchief once how many birds the engine could eat before failure. He told me at cruising/unrestricted takeoff RPM you could dump as many birds as you wanted into the intake one at a time and the turbine purees everything fine. The issue is when the turbine's not rotating as quickly and the larger bird chunks don't get minced enough to get past the smaller turbine blades and that's when the problems start. He could've been fucking with me, though.
