Interesting birdstrike account from the ASI involving a Baron. No fuel tank leak, but substantial damage.

I've had bird strikes in 152's and 172's and a falcon crushed the wing in a 210 I flew, back to the spar.
Given the incident in the 210, do you really think that the OP's scenario of a fuel leak is so implausible? While it's valuable to point out that any given birdstrike is unlikely to cause much damage, the point of considering emergency scenarios is to rehearse the thought process for abnormal situations, many of which are unlikely and unlucky.
