We should have a new category called “aviation news”. a lot of people bring up news topic and putting them in RWAhas nothing to do with personal experience.

And besides. Bird strikes happen all the time. They sent a big deal unless they danger the aircraft in anyway (cactus 1559). Usually it is just a scratch on the aircraft or it was ingested in the engine.(engines are designed to contain bird strike) this story isn’t even that big of a deal 🦅🛩
