I toured the AEDC wind tunnel facility in Tullahoma Tennessee. One of the most talked about features is the Chicken Gun. A large cannon that the military uses to fire grocery store chickens at canopies. Lots of time has been spent studying the affects of bird strikes. It is no small matter even at our speeds.



I guess most of you have never seen these photos of the effects of a birdstrike on a Baron. These should give any pilot the hebe-jeebies.

Hi Kevin,



Those pictures with the baron are actually from a midair with another 

aircraft not a birdstrike. Note that even the names of the images 

includes Midair.



Snopes.com even lists this incident....

Words can be interesting..

MidAir ?  With what?, Whom?

Once I saw a house fly.

I also saw a Man eating Shark.

He was at Johns Seafood Restaurant
