Beware..

Personally seen at KRT on the ramp, some years ago...

A B727 that had a bird strike at 4000MSL, while doing 340 KIAS.
The bird went through the radome, forward pressure bulkhead, broke the First Officers left leg, went through the FD door, and what was left if it ended up in the FC lounge area.
Not a pretty sight.

Sometime that haste to go fast has unintended consequences.
