Gents,
Two guys I hanger with had bird strikes on Tueday evening. Flight of 2 RV8's have bird strikes at 180 kts. Not sure who ran into who.....Damage to 1st RV8 consists of a nerf football size dent in the leading edge of the tank. Second RV8 took it right through the front windshield.
Both landed without incedent other than a few stitches and brown shorts for the second RV8 aviator. No idea what kind of bird or how big. All I can say is WOW!!!
Here is a link to the pictures.
