Alas this is trueAs an aircraft deisgn engineer you get to see some terrifying things, but I have actually seen a military aircraft (no names but seeing as I work in Britain you can probably work it out) tested with a frozen chicken and the resultant mess. This was in 1997 during the certification tests, suffice to say the authorities were not shown the results instead a new aircraft was obtained and a non-frozen chicken used..
