That wouldn't surprise me at all. Windscreens for airliners have been
tested
for years by launching frozen chickens at them from cannon. I wonder if

they
still do that.


Actually, they _thaw_ the chickens first. The story you heard is a
joke, not an accurate description.

It takes eight hours to change out a 747 windscreen and clean out the
cockpit after hitting a snow goose, by the way.


Does that include the time to clean the pilots trousers?



Here's what unthawed birds do to the fuselage.
It was a 4 day field trip Paris, did'nt see much of Paris except the ramp.
Patched it up, flew it unpressurized and stiff legged all the way back to AFW.
