My friend killed a raven airborne over Baker after all the blue meanies
were expended - he hit it with one of the pylons on an F/A-18. The bird

One of my friends hit a turkey with a P-3. Or maybe the bird was hotdogging
and made one pass a bit too close. I guess it isn't any easier to miss a
buzzard than a J-8

The aftermath pictures were interesting. The bird hit the leading edge of
one of the wings, clear of the engines, made a big dent. One end of the
neck was hanging from the dent. The other end was still attached to the
lifeless head. That and a few feathers was about it.
