Also, no a/c has yet been lost to a fox strike. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) |

But I'm fold (by someone it happened to) that they make a real mess on the undercarriage of a 747 if you do hit one on take off. Pilot claimed he didn't feel a thing but the ground crew on arrival got a bit of a surprise to find bits of fox all over one bogie. |

Also, no a/c has yet been lost to a fox strike. I believe QANTAS lost an engine during takeoff (747) when a fox darted out. I can't recall the year but it took place in Melbourne Australia at least 10+ years ago. |
