Meeting A Goose at 11,000 Ft.
There is also a story about General Charles Yeager intentionally
whacking a duck with a Beech D-18 wingtip. It's in his book, anyway.

A Cessna Citation 1 flew through a flock of starlings on final into Vancouver (YVR) several years ago. Flamed-out both engines (AC was on short final so he still managed to "plant" it on the numbers and coast to a stop). The leading edges of the wings and empennage were "coated" in goo and both engines required a major overhaul. Not to mention the "smell" in the cabin... Yechh!
