RYR nasty bird strike at PIK

Understand that one of this morning's RYR departures from PIK had a serious bird strike on rotation. Aircraft was still on the runway about an hour later "cooling the brakes". Still having engine repairs tonight.

Well done the crew.

I imagine a pretty exciting deceleration.
