Over 380 people from 20 countries and 17 exhibitors attended the 4th annual joint meeting of Bird Strike Committee-USA and Bird Strike Committee Canada in Sacramento, California on October 21-24, 2002. Attendees included 91 U.S. Air Force and 7 Air National guard personnel. In all, 51 technical papers and posters were presented, including a special session of 5 papers dealing with the use of RADAR to detect birds to reduce collisions with aircraft. The conference also had a special pyrotechnics training course for 150 of the attendees. Highlights included presentations by representatives from the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) and Air Transport Association (ATA) regarding the need for greater action to minimize wildlife hazards on airports, which cost civil and military aviation worldwide over $ 1.2 billion annually. The goal of BSC-USA is to increase communication and professionalism among the diverse groups dealing with wildlife issues on airports, and the 2002 meeting appeared to be highly successful in this regard.
