anti-aircraft sparrow

Okay, so this is too "in" an in-joke. I call my dad the "inventor of the anti-aircraft sparrow" because the zenith of his engineering career was leading the design of the B1 Bomber. Which is a plane that has been known to crash when it hits small birds.

As a taxpayer, I wince every time one goes down, but as a son? I laugh myself incontinent.
