Went to the airport to fly early this morning and thought somebody had destroyed my wing tip.

Cleaned it off as best I could. 250 miles later when I landed, I still had a couple of feathers stuck.
 
Hawk had dinner on your wing tip.

You would think feathers would blow off at 180 mph. :dunno:
 
Kinda reminded me of the time I had a bird strike in my truck. Thing hit at full speed right at the top of my windshield where it meets the roof. The thing EXPLODED and feathers went everywhere like a pillow had just busted open. I felt a bit bad but was laughing too hard cuz I though that only happened in cartoons!

Nauga goes 1v1 with a wild turkey. My first and to date only ambulance ride.

Turkey under (and over and through) glass tastes awful. The story flagging down a state trooper with gore all over my face and chest is fun to tell.

Nauga,
who still gets a turkey ornament every Christmas

Long story short (the long one is good too :D) after two troopers passed me while I sat on the guardrail on a quiet rural highway, when I saw a third patrol car crest the hill headed my way I walked to the middle of the road and did my best plane captain STOP signal with blood (mine and the bird's) and feathers and goo (the bird's) dripping from my face and upper body. Trooper locks up all 4 then recovers and pulls close, jumps out of the car and yells "WHAT THA HAY-YALL HAPPENED TO YOU?!" Then EMTs with a backboard, the ER, several doctors, a vet (ISYN) and finally home with two black eyes and cuts and scratches all over my face and head. Hilarity ensues.

Nauga,
who had ham that Thanksgiving
