Possible Bird Strike GLA

Absolutely, and reading back my original post now, I do apologise if I came over in that way.

Absolutely if the bird is ingested in the engine it is much more serious as we saw with the incident with EI-DYG the other month. But in the majority of cases there is no reason why it would be big news.

What gives you the right to be so cynical? I don’t think the original poster was blowing this out of proportion at all. Bird strikes are very serious issues, as we saw in the case of the US A320 the other day. However I don’t think the OP was asking if the GLA bird strike was making front page news. Perhaps he was just enquiring as to whether there was any damage to the aircraft, which is entirely possible and he is perfectly within his rights to ask without being persecuted for it. The matter would certainly have been taken seriously by the flight crew at the time.

Not to forget about the smal matter of 2 GIANT herons being ingested into the Rolly Polly on that Thomson that was past V1 ant Manchester. You’ve all seen the vid and if you haven’t then you should;)

Or even small news, for that matter…. :diablo:

If it landed safely, why would there be anymore news?

I’ve had numerous a/c have birdstrikes on landing up at LBA, normally just needs a quick look over by the engineer, wipe the blood off and anyway you go!!

Throughout the world, Rolls Royce have 1 birdy mince per day in their engines.
The repair side of their business is bigger than their original sales of JetLumps.
