Saw pics on FB of an AirLink EMB taking a large bird over either Kasane or Lusaka. Anyone have any more info? Just curious. That's a solid hit for sure.
Cheers.

Disregard. Info up on FlyAfrica now.

"Hi Ian, the correct detail with regard to the incident was that the flight took off from Kasane Airport, enroute for Johannesburg, O.R. Tambo, and struck the vulture, climbing through 7000 feet at an indicated air speed of 240 Knots. The aircraft was an Embraer 135. The flight returned safely to Kasane Airport."
