Bird Strikes

those pilots got the bird lol 😆

Hard to believe thats all it takes to knock down one of those multimillion dollar planes down.

mAmA

Pilots hate bird strikes. They scare the crap out of you when they hit the window, they get sucked into the engines and wreck them. They can tear off a chunk of wing and create all kinds of problems.

I suppose jet engines are the worst case scenario, the Manchester video is awesome. The pilots kept their cool and landed safely.

They down the aircraft but the damage is usually repairable once you get down.

The F16 is probably an exception. One engine and the plane needs air speed to keep flying. Lose the engine and it's a rock. The only choice then is when to eject. 🙂
