Meeting A Goose at 11,000 Ft.

[Monk]

I just received these images from a fellow pilot. Good thing there
wasn't a copilot in that seat.

"Yikes! Meeting a goose at 11,000 ft. And 185 kts can ruin your whole
day."

Try posting the picture, directly here, that is what this place is made
for.

At the least, pick something that does not require sign-up.

No, this place, whatever you mean by "this place" was *not* made to post
binaries. Actually, many usenet hosts block binaries.

Those pics look a lot like the damage to a similar twin, several years ago,
that met with the main undercarriage of an opposing cessna.

Sorry that I can't find the old pics or article to verify.

Young? I wish!

Sorry for being so quick, and saying to post it. I thought I was still on
binaries.pictures.aviation!

It is hard to believe that much damage was only a goose. I'll bet that is a
repost of the landing gear vs. plane roof pictures.

I've seen those pictures before too. Here they are on Snopes:

Sorry, no bird strike, it was a mid air with a Cessna.

It was a midair collision with a C180. See:

http://www.rapp.org/archives/category/aviation/mishaps/

Scroll down to "Convertible Baron" near bottom of page.

Peter you are correct... my buddy was flying the Cessna and did not get out
of it.
The Baron Pilot was heads down and climbing into the blind side of the
straight and level Cessna, head on, lower right quadrant below engine
cowling. The right main gear of the Cessna 170 punched through and ripped
open the right side of the Baron. The Baron landed safely on a farmers
runway. The gear and wing strut was damaged causing the right wing to fail
and he spun in.

This is not a goose impact. The tear would not be so clean and straight.

It is not a goose..
It is a mid air between the Baron climbing head on into the blind side of a
Cessna 180 just west of Tehachapi CA. The right main of the Cessna went
through the right side windshield and opened up the Baron like a can opener.
The Baron pilot was climbing and was heads down in the cockpit. The Cessna
was straight and level, the Baron climbing up into his blind spot below the
right side engine cowling and panel. The right main and right wing lift
strut failed, causing the right wing to fail and he spun in. He never got
out. He was a friend and co-worker.
The Baron landed on a farmers runway.

One of the Cessna 172SP rental planes where I fly at did hit a goose, it
busted out the front windscreen, the passenger was covered in goose blood
and guts but it landed safety and was repaired. The plane only had a couple
hundred hours when it happened.

That wasn't the woman who just got her PP-ASEL and was taking her
husband up as her first pax, was it?

Our local CAP wing had a goose hit the LE of a brand new C182 wing. The
wing needed reskinning, but the plane landed safely.

It was a couple years ago now, the plane is a rental out of KMQJ. I don't
know the specifics of who was in the aircraft I am just friends with the
owner (who leases it back to the FBO and wasn't on board).

Peter D et all, thanks for pointing that out. I did have doubts while
looking for feathers and blood stains on the impact area and not
finding any.

If nothing, you are predictable. You NEVER fail to catch me when I make a
mistake.

But, that's what you do. Sigh!!!

Read down a little further in the thread to catch my explanation.

But, that really doesn't matter, does it?

Another opportunity to bust my chops, even a little, makes your day.

So, there was your Christmas present. ;-))

Beats a stick in the eye, or a lump of coal, I guess. <g>

Meeeeerrry Christmas, to you and yours!

That goes DOUBLE for everybody else!!!!! :-)

There was a goose strike several years back in OKC where the
co-pilot/passenger was killed. I think it was a C-310 making a high
speed descent into Wiley Post. There were some pictures in the newspaper
showing the goose remains strung out in the back seat and of the
windscreen damage. Anybody else recall this with maybe more details?

Oh Jim.
I hardly know what to say.

I've not spent much more than 15 minutes total here
in the last 5 years and yet.... I NEVER FAIL????

Wow, dood.

That says a lot!!!!!
THANK YEW!

It's wonderful to know that I NEVER FAIL and am so PREDICTABLE.
Heaven forbid that it should be any other way, RIGHT???? :-)

Anyhoo...
A full measure of Merry Christmas to you and all the RAH gang.

I have been searching for it and haven't had any luck so far. This site
is interesting: http://www.birdstrike.org/ In the blue column on the
left side click on "significant bird strike events and also the FAA-USDA
report below it. The Top ten Bird Strke Myths is interesting too. The
highest known strike occurred at 37,000 feet.

THIS place is Usenet. THESE newsgroups are rec.aviation.* and are
ASCII -only, though there are other newsgroups for posting binaries.

So where'd you see this?

For the very last time, I _thought_ I was in the _ _ _ alt.binaries_ _ _

My mistake.

Sheesh.

I can't address that particular strike, but I do recall one in Turkey
where the leading edges of both wings of a C-130 had dings from flying
into a flock of small birds. If memory serves, this was in the 1979 time
frame, there was a total of 7 dings. Within a few days of the C-130
event one of the F-4E in my unit took a similar bird on the top of the
nose about a foot in front of the wind screen. It penetrated into the
aircraft. I no longer recall the total damage.

In Spain we had condors to contend with. We lost the head off an F-4E
pave spike laser designator pod from a condor strike. After removing the
pod we had to remove its rack. The poor girl who did it was covered in
bird parts.

Another condor strike, also F-4E, resulted in the airplane being
shipped back to Germany a year later for serious structural repair. The
bird got cut into two big parts by the leading edge of the left
variramp. One part tore the side of the intake a few feet in and tore
the CSD dome on the engine as well as FODding out the engine itself. The
other part entered the rear cockpit damaging all kinds of wiring. The
left wing tank was punched off, but the right one couldn't be
jettisoned. It was summer, so you can imagine what the rear cockpit
smelled like the next day.

An interesting aside here is all bird parts from strikes were sent to
Warner-Robbins in plastic bags. I guess some GM 9 zillion had to certify
it was a bird and not a cow or something.

There is also a story about General Charles Yeager intentionally
whacking a duck with a Beech D-18 wingtip.

It's in his book, anyway.

BoB, for you, I'll break my rule against doing this for mean old farts,

A Cessna Citation 1 flew through a flock of starlings on final into
Vancouver (YVR) several years ago. Flamed-out both engines (AC was on
short final so he still managed to "plant" it on the numbers and coast
to a stop). The leading edges of the wings and empennage were "coated"
in goo and both engines required a major overhaul. Not to mention the
"smell" in the cabin... Yechh!
