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

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.
