Bird Strike on a Canadair Challenger 604 ( I think ? Looks to new in the cock-house to be a 601 )
I bet this got there attention. I have had to deal with the aftermath of a few birdie strikes, but never anything this gross







Look closly at the bent up fan blades, hell of a meat grinder, most of it probably went through the bypass duct

NO FREE RIDES!


That was a gnats a** away from a major catostrophy. Fortunate crew. Probably more than one bird impacted. Did they ID the breed? 'Spect they had a significant decompression. What altitude were they at when the incident occurred?

I do not know the specifics of the incident. My guess is it my have been on climb out. I think a head on with even a large bird might have been deflected ?? If they were climbing fast when they impacted the poor birdie that might explain the structural damage. JMO.
Would not have been alot of cabin differential pressure during initial climbout.

Looking at the air inlet gives new meaning to the expression "Your goose is cooked". I might give up chicken fingers for a while.
I loved the 777 vid, Mike. I rode in coach trans-Atlantic in one (for about 10 or 11 hours each way). Only difference between a 777 and a 737 is the number of seats. A sardine by any other name...

These replica P-38's sound like the clone a lot of us here would love to have!.
