ASHEVILLE, N.C. — A huge block of birds has caused travel headaches at a North Carolina airport.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that authorities at the Asheville Regional Airport temporarily stopped flight operations Friday morning after thousands of starlings landed at the airfield.
Airport spokeswoman Tina Kinsey says the airport dispatched fire trucks with water jets, air cannons and big-bang noise makers to shoo away the fowl who threatened to pose a safety hazard.
The flock dispersed after about two hours.
