Default Long-EZ Bird Strike


Pretty incredible story:

http://www.ez.org/birdstrike.htm

Long-EZ pilot at 9,500 feet hit a bird, which shattered his prop, and the broken
prop took off almost all of one winglet. Full aileron was only able to keep the
wings level above 110 knots. Landed safely...sounds like a damn fine pilot.
