BIRD STRIKE

Postby Fly2e » Fri Sep 09, 2005 2:08 pm

It is amazing how a small bird can so quickly bring down a plane.

Not an F-16, not American... Canadian, NFTC CT-155 Hawk.

It's the same vid; and as I said in your thread as I did in this one, it's a CT-155.

The CT-155 is nothing to do with the F-15, F-16 or F-anything else. It's the Canadian version of the BAe Hawk as used by the Red Arrows.

That'd be the one.  Going by memory, that was Friday, 14 May, 2004, in the mid-afternoon.  I had just got home from Vancouver and saw the emergency crews recovering the pilots, and the crumpled remains of the aircraft.  Just missed the event by about 10-15 minutes.

What the hell does "T 6 NL" mean?(first warning) I thought all military engines had to be rated for bird strikes.

It looked quite a large bird, and against a small engine like such as would be in the Hawk (Adour) then the chances of anything less than major engine damage are very small... Combine that with being a single engine type, and it's not going to be the crew's day...

Yesterday night one of our King Air charter flights exploded a bird all over the flippin right wing.  Unfortunately I was the one to clean it.
