Saw/smelled a pig at Albatross about 9-10 years ago that had a mid-air altercation with a pelican. Fortunately on this occasion, the pelican had the good sense to dive straight into the intake, rather than bounce off the nose first.

The overwhelming aspect was the smell of the pelican's breakfast all around the acft (something was fishy anyway).

BTW, wasn't the twin engine argument the reason we ended up with the F18 over the F16?

Well done to the crew who landed this pig with a floppy nose, and one engine!!
