That was a good one. I’ll bet the pax applauded after the landing? I was flying a Skyvan once, the engine swallowed a bird at about 50′ after takeoff, but that plane is so slow we were able to land straight ahead. Usually it got birdstrikes from behind, though, it was so slow. :dev2:

A tad different than the odd Turkey.

Black hawk vs Blackhawk

How about this one? Who’s for birdstrike and rice tonight? feel free to put up your birdstrike photos (or recipes)

Well it must have been a Grunman Goose!

Gooney Bird was close, though.

Shows you what drivel they spread in emails. This is the title of the email circulating with those pictures :
MID-AIR COLLISIONS WITH BIRDS (25 PICS)

Actually the Baron was hit head on by a Cessna 180 and the damage incurred was the result of the undercarriage slicing through the fuselage, the 180 broke up in flight and the pilot died.

Sometimes you see the wreckage and wonder how anyone got out alive. If this Beech Baron had been flying a few inches to the right, we likely wouldn’t be wondering how Robert Hollis Gates, of Tehachapi, Calif., managed to land the plane safely after a midair with a Cessna 180 last Jan. 16. The Baron lost a section of fuselage, but Gates walked away with cuts and bruises. The 180 broke up in flight and the pilot, 40-year-old David Lazerson, a civilian test pilot instructor at Edwards Air Force Base and deputy director of the Joint Strike Fighter Integrated Test Force, was killed. According to the NTSB report, Gates said he was in cruise climb between 5,500 and 6,500 feet near Tehachapi when he saw the right gear leg of the Cessna coming at him from one o’ clock. He ducked, then saw a dirt strip and managed to set the Baron down. AVweb wasn’t able to reach Gates.

Scary. I don’t want to experience a birdstrike when I’m in an aircraft.

No, it was a Goose

Well it must have been a Grunman Goose!

How about this one? Years ago (probably not this picture, though), in South Africa, a 737 hit some blue cranes passing FL110. The bird carcass entered the cockpit and broke the copilot’s leg.

No, it was a Goose
