Very interesting information twistedmosaic, my son's a commercial pilot. We spoke on the phone last night about bird strike. They are very common. After he had landed once, there was a turkey buzzard with its head embedded in a landing light. The rest of its body was dangling beneath it!
Commercial aviation never gets the praise it deserves. This is a great example on how sometimes everything works as its supposed to. Is it really a miracle when so much care, thought and training has been invested to make sure situations like this aren't disasters? Of course, its a miracle. But it was planned to be that way!
