He flew without permission.
He flew without permission.
Birds should be required to pass pilot tests. He did not prefer in to fly. https://www.novinky.cz/clanek/krimi-...=www.seznam.cz

I'm lucky to have experienced only one bird strike - a pigeon (converted into a "puff" of feathers by the right wing).
One of my instructors took a goose through the window of a Cessna 421 somewhere above 18,000 ft. The PIC was hospitalized and he saved the day under very difficult conditions. More chilling is the account of an Airline pilot reporting a goose at 29,000' (8840 meters) at over 400 kts TAS. But the designers accounted for that with the thickness of the windshield, which came at a cost that approached the cost of a modest house at the time.

I hit a buzzard (a smaller predator) with my car. I was driving almost 200 km/h, a bird flew next to the car for a while, but it changed direction and hit the right mirror. I went back to get him and he is with a lovely lady vet on the wall. She said I have your bird stuffed when you will want it, come to me.....
After several years, a doe ran in front of my car... I had 160 km/h on the speedometer. At the last moment her foot slipped and I hit her with the bumper. The car was missing its left light, radiator and front fascia, but no sheet metal was broken. The plastic on the bumper was only cracked, but the steel reinforcement absorbed the impact. The car was green up to the back. I've been driving slower since then. I could have her on my lap. Everything was on small district roads with a speed limit of 90 km/h. Fast car, little sense..... I have driven more than 2,5 mil km.. Sometimes it works... But they were lucky on the plane. It was 20 km from me.

Jaro,
You were lucky. I know of a guy who hit a horse on a moonless night at 60+ MPH. About half (the half with the intestinal contents) entered the cabin through the windshield. The driver was crippled and uses a wheelchair to this day. I think he still has nightmares about drowning in horse poop. Because of the Horse's high center of gravity, little sheetmetal damage to repair. Stinky, stinky !!

Terrible Marc. I have a workshop outside the city, there are narrow roads, you drive automatically.... When I see an animal, I blow the horn, some of them already know me, it's worse with the new generation.
I still don't understand their relationship to danger. Every animal should run away from danger. Here it's the other way around. You're approaching and right in front of your car he jumps into the lights. I have already uttered the sentence in humor that I am afraid to eat everything that feeds on green food..... so as not to get infected with that stupidity. But I have a well-known vegetarian and it could be used for him... I feel sorry for your colleague with the horse. That's really unfortunate. I already drive slowly except for exceptions. I save fuel and explore the landscape and its beauty.

Good, that expands the opportunity for the rest of us to learn from your current knowledge and results of your future curiosity.
