How many times has PHI had a bird strike on the 76 that resulted in an engine or both engines to be knocked off line? Is this the first occurrence?

How about Air Log....do they use the cast or stretched acrylic wind screens as does PHI?

Has Air Log had any bird strikes on their 76's that had similar damage?

Bristow have any on their 76's?

Would Sikorsky have any data generated by the various operators that would answer those kinds of questions?

Another thought.....why did it take so long to find any bird remains on the aircraft? I would think there would be lots of feathers and other residue to be seen or was the aircraft in such a state that was not possible?
