I flew into somewhere in SD in a Mesaba Saab 340. The flight before had a
bird strike on the windshield (goose), that broke off the windshield wiper.
The wiper blade then hit the prop, which flung the broken blade through the
side of the fuselage, impaling itself in the thigh of one of the pax. He had
to go to the operating room for some sort of surgery, but I do not think it
broke his femur. Talk about bad luck.

They flew in a new prop the next day, and there was some speed tape on the
side of the fuselage.

I've always wondered if the pax got to ride free on NWA for the rest of his
life.
