Scary.

I find that predatory birds, when threatened, usually seem to dive, not climb. So I usually climb.

There are a hell of a lot of birds out where I keep my a/c, a few close calls, but fortunately no strikes. Those pics show what kind of damage could be done. . . even though those a/c traveling a lot faster than my 153 MPH Vne, I still don't wanna find out!
