Sox,

There was no intent to "limit" the companies....as I also asked whether Sikorsky might also have some data gleaned from reports from Operators.

I broke out Bristow and Air Log as though they are all part of one big happy family they are quite distinctly different in the locales they operate in and the regulations and SOP's they adhere to are quite different despite their being in the same "family".

It does make one wonder why an engine found at the bottom of a fast flowing river that had hit the water at a high rate of knots could have bird feathers and other residue and the 76 that hit on muddy ground and had not been submerged in moving water did not.

I wonder what the explanation for that might be?

I too have heard of a previous incident of a bird strike at PHI where an engine lever got knocked back.

I wonder what kind of wind screen was installed on that one? (....and what it was replaced by!)
