Locust Plagues are a real problem for mankind and are so huge and ominous that nothing seems to be able to stop them. We have tried to use chemicals, pesticides and other insecticides to stop them but they just keep on going and eating. It takes days for them to die, but it does not even seem to slow them down. Worse off in many nations especially in Africa, they have a tradition of eating them. Why? Well mostly out of necessity, after all once the locusts have eaten up your season's crops, what is left to eat anyway?

Now then aerial firefighting has also evolved a long way and maybe not as evolved as the Locust Swarms, but humans are getting a pretty good handle on how to fight wildfires and forest fires. For instance you may wish to refresh your memory on some of our advancements;

I therefore propose taking the new 747 Fire Bomber concept which is to be used to put out massive wild fires and getting low to about 300 feet AGL and 280 knots indicated while fully loaded and pulling up as it approaches the swarm. This does a couple of things. It sends wing tip vortices and massive a amount of wake turbulence into the swarm and disrupts the airflow, while scattering the swarm and confuses the insects.

We also should stick appendages on the aircraft, which can be deployed prior to this maneuver to insure even more disruptive airflow. And we should pick a target area over flat land or even water such as Africa's Lake Victoria where the Locust Plagues cross each year. Next as the aircraft pulls up it releases its load onto the locusts and then comes back around and flies the pattern backwards as the locusts try to regroup and attacks from the rear dumping the remained of the load with a high-speed fly-by at approximately 350 feet AGL and 400 knots indicated. The load is spread in the direction of their path and they will fly right thru all the load, which was dropped in the second pass.
