I guess I'm lucky to have the big mix master overhead. Every birdstrike I've had has been a very fine puree of GU-11 after going through the blades at Pina Colada Speed!
The ones that managed to miss the blades (by some miracle) have been so small they have usually hit with a minor 'plunk' and splatter!
I have had some buddies in a 212 at night, low level, have an intimate relationship with a 12 pound goose at 100 kts. I've seen the post impact photos and believe me, I'd hate to have been doing 400 or 500 kts!
Cheers, OffshoreIgor
