Well, that will certainly fuck up your whole day

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) – A pilot working with a critical-care helicopter service in Iowa has returned to work after a bird crashed through the windshield and struck him in the head last month. 

Troy McCormick, of Wings Air Rescue in Sioux City, told Nexstar’s KCAU that he was flying toward a hospital in Storm Lake on Nov. 23 when the incident took place.

  1. You should see what happens when they come through the windscreen on a fighter doing 500 - 600 mph. It ain't pretty.

  2. Yeah, but the Brits had to be told to thaw the chickens before putting them in the air cannon to test new aircraft windshields.

  3. Was it a big bird or a small bird? Details make all the difference.

  4. This won't be his last bird strike. His statement "We do dodge birds" is a recipe to hit birds. Fly your course and the birds will dodge you. 10 year helicopter pilot.
