The Top ten Bird Strke Myths is interesting too. The highest known strike occurred at 37,000 feet. I can't address that particular strike, but I do recall one in Turkey where the leading edges of both wings of a C-130 had dings from flying into a flock of small birds. If memory serves, this was in the 1979 time frame, there was a total of 7 dings. Within a few days of the C-130 event one of the F-4E in my unit took a similar bird on the top of the nose about a foot in front of the wind screen. It penetrated into the aircraft. I no longer recall the total damage. In Spain we had condors to contend with. We lost the head off an F-4E pave spike laser designator pod from a condor strike. After removing the pod we had to remove its rack. The poor girl who did it was covered in bird parts. Another condor strike, also F-4E, resulted in the airplane being shipped back to Germany a year later for serious structural repair. The bird got cut into two big parts by the leading edge of the left variramp. One part tore the side of the intake a few feet in and tore the CSD dome on the engine as well as FODding out the engine itself. The other part entered the rear cockpit damaging all kinds of wiring. The left wing tank was punched off, but the right one couldn't be jettisoned. It was summer, so you can imagine what the rear cockpit smelled like the next day. An interesting aside here is all bird parts from strikes were sent to Warner-Robbins in plastic bags. I guess some GM 9 zillion had to certify it was a bird and not a cow or something.

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! |
