I googled for other bird strike stories and read up on them. Anyone

else
have one while a low time student?


When I was receiving my required night training during my primary
instruction, our C172 hit a bat on descent into an uncontrolled
airport. The poor creature caught the right leading edge of the wing,
just past the vent opening. It sounded like a rock hit the aircraft.

The impact chipped some paint and left blood and bar fur? attached.
