Carnage....
It happened when taking Megan back to Madison tonight, somewhere over Badgerland. I don't know what it was, but I saw a flash, then heard and felt a thunk. June bug season is upon us. You could smell the bug guts when I wiped down the plane.
It was juicy, and now, very, very dead......... 3-D Enotmological Carnage.......

Inventory:
Pete, you just helped me remember the bottle of Bug Slide that was in the garage from Harley-Davidson days. Need to add that to the inventory list on our home fire loss claim. And rags. Lots of microfiber rags.

The splatter on the side of the fuselage is impressive. If it were in Nebraska I'd vote for a cicada, but up in MN or WI a mosquito sounds about right.

Me and another RV pilot were just talking about this a few weeks ago. It doesn't seem to matter the species - all bug guts would appear to have a similar smell. And, when my cleaning rag smells like that even when it's dry, then I know it's time to wash the cleaning rag.

There's a great joke to go with this, but I don't think the forum software would let me post the punchline...

The first one is always a mess. With experience there comes a perfect cut...
