A bit off-thread, but I think the original question's been adequately answered.
Scene: Pre-solo circuits in JP. 300ft Finals I see single bird crossing runway. 200ft ID it as Pheasant. 100ft.. a FAT pheasant "I have control, Bloggs" (thinking he might miss).
0ft strike pheasant with port u/c door. Remain on ground, taxi in for inspection. Fire crew retrieve pheasant, neatly decapitated (tho' I say it myself). Hang for a few days, casserole, and very nice too!
Wouldn't do for all you responsible commercial types, I know..
