Ameriflight Birdstrike @ Show Low-Pilot Injured

I started in CVG and they wanted to send me to PDX but I danced around that. I dig the year round motorcycle riding weather here. And I dont care for the chietains. I like bigger birdies
 
So, where's all the "take that Sully and Stiles!!!" comments?

11k feet, bird in face, successful landing.....that's pretty hardcore.

Heh. Mitsi is deafening and terrifying on the outside. 99 sounds like your garden variety twin caravan on the outside but makes the poor long suffering freight pup on the inside deaf as a post. Need to tall to waco about those implants (only half kidding...4 plus years of prop freight has definitely taken its toll.)

You ain't kidding. Rode on a 99 a few times, but mostly did Chieftains and some Metro in my cargo days. That combined with a career in fighters, a time of ground combat, and now primarily in helos, makes for me not being able to hear much above the 2000 db range.

2000 db????

I dont think any human would be able to hear that as they would be permanently deaf at about 200 db. I'd like to see what would make 2000 db too. That must be impressive.

2000 hz maybe;)

Whelp, if you didn't "start" as a commercial PFT F.O. on the 1900 out of Moline Ill, there have only been 4 direct hire's into the CVG base in this last year. 2 quit, 1 got transfered to a DFW run which leaves 1 who is still in the CVG base.

And the navajo was the most challenging airplane I ever got to fly, a season with her will do anybody good.
 
Well I guess I miss let you. I am MX. I know this is a pilot web site but I still kinda like it. Alot of interesting conversation.
