Scott,

In your opinion (highly valued due to the three hits) what would the bird strike have done to the wing if it struck it….also, was it “tweety” or something more substantial?

I have hit three birds so far in Lancairs.

One on Takeoff at Night.  120knts
Broke the spinner.

One at 8,000 feet over the Columbia River in Oregon. 170 knts
Cracked the Cowl

One on Extended Base  140 knts 
Cracked the Cowl

.

Birds love me.


Scott

One argument I've heard concerning high speed passes is the potential of a bird strike.  At high speed the impact of a bird is much more dangerous than if it happens at approach speeds.  I'm not sure how valid the argument is, but it makes sense to me.
