Aviation Herald A Contact Air Fokker 100 on behalf of Swiss, registration D-AGPH performing flight C3-1343/LX-1343 from Warsaw (Poland) to Zurich (Switzerland) with 83 passengers and 4 crew, struck a bird on climb out of Warsaw and received a large dent on its nose cone. The airplane levelled off at 9000 feet and returned to Warsaw’s runway 33 for a safe landing 35 minutes after departure.

I didn’t know Ostriches could fly! :stuck_out_tongue:
Freakin’ big “dent.”

By bird, do they mean Piper?

I was hoping to see some bird parts mangled up in there.

:open_mouth:

If I said that I’d never hear the end of it. . . :confused:

Sad but true Will.

Good thing it wasn’t a cat!

:laughing:

What if I go all out on the bird thing, like dami did about the cat?

I’m a bird owner. . . I might be offended?

Go for it my boy.

We could all use a laugh.

I don’t wanna lock this thang. . .

And the last thing I would do is be offended! :laughing:
I don’t give a crap if some buzzard or crow gets hit. . . I have a turkey. :stuck_out_tongue:

Fattening it up for Thanksgiving???

I use a Cessna 210 to hunt geese.

No. . . He thinks he’s a dog, along with the pig. :stuck_out_tongue:

Never ride in an A320. Geese hunt them. . .
