bird strike! ouch!
copied this from an email from my dads friend from work, all i can say is... holy ****
Sedona, AZ Crazy.... - Went to Show Low today, landed about 1PM. Parked next to this plane. The pilot showed up in the 3rd photo - yes, the one in the blue. It happened just about 3 hours before I got there. time to think of a different profession? Story at the bottom.    This guy, like me, was coming from Phoenix into Show Low at 11,000 feet, about 20 miles west. I talked to him shortly after I took this 3rd picture. He never saw anything, just BAM! Bird strike at 250kts or so. Wind. Had glasses on, took them off and put a spare pair on, landed at Show Low. Ambulance. 18 stitches. Black eyes. Blood everywhere in the cockpit. When I took the photos, one quick pass had already been made at cleaning it out. He literally just came from the hospital to see his plane. He was obviously scared s***less, but amazingly calm. When I left Show Low, an A&P had been flown in and was taping over the window, they were having a new one flown in...will take a couple of days. $15K+ for that windscreen. A very minor ding where the bird's head hit on the frame, but otherwise, except for the blood, no damage to the plane. They haven't determined the make/model of the bird. Nothing left.
