phildagreek Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 On Twitter, I saw earlier today that one of the Red Arrows, RED 10 I think, commenting that the team had suffered a second bird strike this week, the first was at Waddington on Saturday and today at Fairford, on both occassions pilot and jet ok, the involved bird, not so much. Anybody know anything about today's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at work at the airport when it happened, left a big dent in the nose just in front of the windscreen. The pilot was quite lucky, the bird not so much.
