Don't know if these have been posted before, but imagine being down the back with the sound of a ASBO-team taking their baseball bats to the aircraft.

The late father of a friend of mine was piloting for Lufthansa in Germany (737 and later A310 and A300). Once upon a time a bird swarm crossed their approach line and some birds crashed into the nose of the a/c. They really had to land via IFR because all the blood flew over the cockpit glass! Shocked

Not really, he could see where he was going. The pucker factor is with the co-pilot. He can't see a thing and it traveling a high speed sat behind a significantly weakened window................Boss, I am just off for a quick pee, you have got it nicely covered here Grin

Laughing aside, I was sent by my company to oversee a 737-800 "C" check a couple of years ago. The tail plane leading edge was very badly dented by a multiple bird strike, probably half as bad as this one. I thought that it was fit only for the scrap bin, by the time the metal workers had finished with it, you would never have known. I was amazed, though I think that this one IS a scrap candidate.

I would freaking love to have been on those planes during those storms! Grin

All my flights are boring with the pilot choosing to go around the storm instead of through it. Angry
