Red face Birdstrikes - What's your experience ?

More than 350 people have been killed worldwide as a result of aircraft birdstrikes.

More than 3500 birdstrikes were reported by the USAF alone, in 1998.

An estimated 80% of birdstrikes in the US go unreported.

Starlings are "feathered bullets" having a body density 27% higher than herring gulls.

Have you had a serious birdstrike? What was the consequences and the effects on you, the crew?
