Falconer keeps aircraft in flight
SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany – Roland Leu, 52nd Fighter Wing falconer, straps a global positioning system on his hunting falcon near Perimeter Road here July 31. Leu is the wing’s only falconer and he uses his four falcons to hunt birds and rodents throughout the year. The falconer keeps rodent and bird populations clear of aircraft and helps reduce the amount of damage and cost of repairs done to aircraft.
