Gnarly Gnu Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Them's hefty birds.... "the Bombardier DHC8-315 sustained a big hole in its nose, and the dead bird was stuck in it, coast guard officials said. The hole was reportedly as wide as 1 meter."

J170 Owner Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes, a pelican once shot past me at 1000' AGL near Blanchetown (SA). Had that come through the windscreen of my Jab it would have stung a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsor68 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have a photo of a Cirrus cowl in a hanger with Wedgetail eagles hangin' off it... Will have to find it. Scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pookemon Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I've seen wedgetail's at around 3500ft AMSL - but it was the butterfly at 2500ft on climb out that scared me - they're so fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
