I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I recall a report, must be 40 years ago, of an Electra that took a goose through the centre windscreen. It fetched up in the toilet at the back. The aisle, fortuitously was clear and the toiler empty. The aircraft was at 180 and the goose iro 60lb. The figure that sticks in my mind was the force - 300,000 ft lbs.
