Thomson fly 757 birdstrike at MAN video!!

Apparently the damage caused was worth £3mill! Hefty job for TOM.

A Bird Strike is just like saying Boeing (Or Airbus;))

It covers alot of different area, of which you can go into further.

For example, a bird strike that hits the ‘flightdeck’ window and brakes the glass, a bird that hits the wing/fuse of the aircraft, the list goes on…

You read into my words and in the process completely missed the point, Sam! A degree of damage almost goes hand in hand with bird strikes, regardless of where on the airframe the impact occurs and these incidents are not regular ‘everyday’ occurrences.

Yes, they did do a very good job, but they are trained to cope with this situations, bird strikes happen everyday

On a worldwide scale, yes, but I think I can say with a reasonable degree of certainty bird strikes do not feature in a pilot’s typical day. Have you looked into bird strikes? It’s interesting to see what happens when a goose turns into a 60 ton object that’s hell bent on hurting your plane. They are definately not what you could call everyday common occurrences! :rolleyes:

good job by the pilots

Yes, they did do a very good job, but they are trained to cope with this situations, bird strikes happen everyday. If they had crashed, people would see it very suspiciously

That’s quite an amazing piece of footage

Great work.

And would you belive that 757 is back in service flying into newcastle yesterday.

Agreed great video and great skills shown by the ATC and the pilots involved
Newcastle

I agree, the consequences could have been alot worse though, good job by the pilots and ATC to bring the a/c back to the airport.

Thanks

Simon Lowe is just amazing at making videos for that site, love watching them all :cool:, the ATC communications between the a/c on the tower are preety fascinating to listen to…
