Yea, didn't look at it close enough. Your right. Would hate to see the abort!

Status: offline 		actually FOD is foreign object debris. (any junk or objects on the ground where the plane operates)

FOD is what causes the damage.

History Channel last night had a special on runways and FOD. The runway inspectors have a cool job of driving at 110 mph between jets scoping out any material that might be on the runway. I saw one inspector at Dallas with a Corvette screaming past the MD80 I was on. They also do a lot of critter control (rabbits, dogs, geese etc.) that can be known to be feathered or furry FOD.

If you love that plane, set it free, if it doesn't return, you should've checked your battery.

Status: offline 		I was taught both terms in the sense that FOD causes FOD. Either way we dont want either one of them around full scale aircraft of any kind.
