SpiraMirabilis
Possible Subversive
Got these pics emailed to me and thought I would share. One of our Dash-8's had a birdstrike on final into an outstation. Apparently struck the rightside inboard flap so hard as to cause the damage you see in the second photo, which is the next day when they took out the bird. I don't know what kind of bird it was but reports indicate that it was at least as big as "Texas."
Speed tape, sign the can, good to go or at least that was my first thought but apparently the rumor is they had to fly a tech out from Bombardier (or at least our main maintenance HQ) to look at it, so the a/c is still sitting out there in the outstation. I wonder if they buried the bird.
