I had a kangaroo strike on takeoff in an F27 a few decades ago, luckiest kangaroo on earth, the passengers swear that he passed THROUGH the prop disk and was bowled over by the undercarriage. Was last seen hopping off in a wobbly way into the bush.
Examination of the gear / gear strut did reveal a lot of fur and blood, but not a thing to be seen on the prop.
Canuckbirdstrike, you could open a whole new chapter of research on this (keep up the good work with the ornithological strikes).
