On a related note, the mil variant of the 707, a KC-135, impacted shortly after takeoff at Elmendorf, Anchorage, after ingesting several Canada geese and losing two on the same side, in the early nineties I recall.

Impressive stick job by the Iranian crew, Sullenberger kudos all 'round (he knows geese), not an easy event by anyone's standard.
