Default RE: Bird Crash

I have trouble with bird strikes all the time. My jet is so slow they keep running into the back of it. [&o]

These guys were doing 550 kmh when they hit a pelican at 3000ft. They commented they didn't expect a bird strike at that altitude. The poor bird then went through the starboard engine which did the engine no good at all! - John.
