EW 146-300 collected 2 Cape Barren Geese at FL180 on climb out from MEL to DPO - One above Captains window - one below F/O window.
If the had been flying correct formation it could have been catastrophic.
Would have wound up in row 16 with much of the F/D crew.
A/C turned back safely to MEL but a near thing.
Give me an F27-200 - saw a major birdtrike on TN997 MEL WNY DPO from the ground one night at WNY - F27 carved through a flock of seagulls on landing. No damage to the aeroplane apart from a great deal of blood and seagull pate on the fuselage.
Nasty bit was FSU asking us to clear the debris from the runway so our aeroplane and AN887 could depart.
Yucko!!
Best all.
