 Re: Bird Strike
We were on arrival to BNA in a 727 and one of the flight attendants was in the cockpit telling us a joke. All of a sudden:
WHAP!!!!
It was dark so we had no idea what happened so I thought, "PROTECT ESSENTIAL!!!", then we turned the light on and the captain said, "I guess we killed it!"
The flight attendant screams like she's running from an axe murderer.
We hit a bird and it had impacted right on the bolt on the windshield wiper. Part of it's carcass was wedged undernear the blade and the other part had separated and smeared all over the FO's windscreen!
Split that bird in half!
