Having made an original tongue in cheek comment about somebody querying the lack of pressure checks for tailstrike following (what up to that point had been reported as) a birdstrike, I'm now just plain confused. Is this...
(a) A birdstrike, possibly on the tail
(b) A tailstrike, possibly to a bird, or more likely a 737
(c) Both
(d) Entirely unsubstantiated rumour to fill column space in a tabloid.
I think it was 1997 but might have been 1998 that the we had reported 5 sheepstrikes in the UK, which make a bigger dent, but barbeque better and virtually never happen to 737s.
