Last we were in phesant country, Glen narrowly missed a rooster while driving in the low triple digits. That would have been an UGLY bird strike indeed.
I was on a Canadair a few years back that hit a goose at 400 kt. +/- at about 10,000 agl. You could hear the strike throughout the plane. It left a BIG dent just above the windscreen and covered all the glass in red. I'm sure they had to make a quick call for IFR clearance if they didn't already have one. The cockpit crew was kind of giddy when we got to the gate. I'm sure they had to stop for a change of shorts.
