One of the pictures which sticks in my mind was flying a Seneca Five twin to LJLJ in Slovenia one of my favourite airports

Flying at 10 K over glaciers a few hundred feet was awesome then the screen was filled with an Eagle.

I was sure it was going to hit the screen! the Eagle was huge and I would not like to estimate the wingspan.

In a split second it folded one wing and dived under the aircraft
Birds of prey rarely will hit you even if a collision seems imminent
