Police Helicopter Bird Strike
The Dallas Police helicopter had a severe bird strike but other then minor injuries, except for the bird, all safe.

Must be a bad week for them the same unit took out two ducks without damage or injury last week with a different jockey.
This time it was a Coot through the pilots screen.
Not life threatening in itself but the pilot was certainly disabled as far as flying goes.

I know that Frenchy is a licensed pilot, but I remember an old saying from my crewman days;
Q: what would you do if your pilot became incapacitated?
A: 1.5 solo
