Not going to assume the guy's flying a jet without a medical, his insurance probably wouldn't cover that so it wouldn't make sense for a guy of his means. Benefit of the doubt on that.

Could be. Could be geese, when I flew there I had a heading and flat landing spot already picked out for dual engine loss in hard IMC for that reason. But even a goose in one engine should be manageable, just don't Vmc it.
