When I did that flight with pilot602, one of the things we forgot to mention were those bugs over Roswell, New Mexico!
When the first one hit it the splat was so enormous, that I thought an eagle had deficated on us! Our conversation in the cockpit was, "Was that a bug? At 12000ft? No way that could have been a bug!!!"
Then eventually two more hit. And with the second strikes, we figured than that they must just simply be bugs. And then finally, out of corner of our eye at about one clock we saw a big black dot streaking toward us followed by a huge splat on the winshield! It was even loud when it hit!
Anybody else get hit by a swarm of bugs this high? Furthermore, I'd like to know what kind of bugs they were; they were huge! Parts of New Mexico do have some pretty high elevations, so maybe that's why we encountered bugs that high. Or who knows, we were near Roswell, so maybe it was visitors!
Men in black come to mind????
