Just heard my flight home to Blighty tonight is two hours delayed due to aircraft change following a bird strike on the incoming flight (presumably BA 179 EGLL-KFJK). Another stray goose perhaps. Any news on the state of the aircraft?

This will surely end up in the Bird Watcher thread, especially if they were on the endangered species list. Be really interesting if it becomes known whether they were transporting "cargo" from Yemen or Ethiopia.

Twitcher programme on BBC4 tonight Monday.
The airline i work for had a bird strike in LEJ recently. Birds were outside the airport perimeter. After a few attempts to shock the local plod did the kill (hundreds):\
