An instructor and his student were landing their T-37 at Williams AFB in the summer of 1974 and encountered some kind of large bird, knocking out the left side of the cockpit, hitting the IP, hitting the rear of the seating area. Luckily they landed safely, I think all the fire trucks on base were there in no time flat ! Some of the folks on this list may have heard of this or even been there.

I was in a A-4 squadren in the Navy and once had a buzzard go thru the wind screen and hit the back seat in a two seater. Luckly no one was sitting there. It was one hell on a mess to cleanup. ============================================================ From: Catsn4@xxxxxxx Date: 2004/07/27 Tue PM 04:38:04 EDT To: airline2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Airline] BAM!!!! ============================================================ Roger EWROPS
