And THIS is what a bird strike looks like from inside an A-10.

Logbook entry: "SMP/ almost hit TTM"

(Shxx My Pants, almost hit a Talkin Meat Missile(skydiver))

It seems driving is for the birds too. The following pics were sent by a YF member who prefers to remain anonymous because he was reportedly exceeding 230 kmh when this happened. Damage was reported at 1200 Euros, but the potential tag-lines are priceless...

... Foul Play?
... Grilled Chicken?
... Bumper Sticker?

Sorry, pre-coffee attempt at humor. My bad.

The jet in the first series is a CL-604 I heard.

I haven't got the time to resize any pics today, but here's another set of images of a birdstrike on the nose of an Aussie F-111 Aarvardk.
