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?

I would be interested in more info on this.

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.
