To be linguistically or syntactically correct, Canada geese are never ever Canadian geese, it is always Canada geese with an upper case 'C' and a lower case 'g.'
They are not Canadian geese, they are Canada geese ...... honk-honk-honk! ... ![]() So, to get this back on topic here, was it a 12-lb, 16-year old Canada goose that flew into the jet engine on Air Force Two, or some other large bird? "Canada geese can live for 10-24 years and .... are monogamous with most couples staying together all their lives. If one dies, the other may find a new mate." ...... Wikipedia

That Canada Goose was flapping his wings "at altitude"—minding his own business—when Air Force 2 scooped him out of the sky.

Maybe it was a wild turkey and not a Canada goose, we don't know?
The January 2009 'Miracle on the Hudson' with Capt Chesley Sullenberger was caused when the plane met up with a flock of Canada geese that got inhaled into the jet engines causing the pilot to make an emergency water landing in the nearby river. All things considered, a single large bird, even a bald eagle or the very rare flying ostrich, let alone a Canada goose, has no value what-so-ever when compared to an airplane flying with passengers onboard.
