Bird strikes make for dramatic photos. And the larger the bird, the greater the drama.
Here’s the aftermath of a right-of-way argument between an Air National Guard C-130 and an eagle. As usual, the bird came out on the losing end. It looks like the pilot almost did, too.
Speaking of which, our hero’s had a long day. “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking…”

note to self not to check this site with breakfast in hand.
Yeah, sorry about that… should have notated it as NSFB (not safe for breakfast).
Sonuva… I was eating breakfast right now, too!
Um… that is SO fake. I received the very same eagle statue when I joined the Eagle’s Club on the Hour of Power.
Seriously… eww…
Are you saying Rev. Schueler was a stow-away aboard this flight?
Serious allegations, my friend…
😉
I feel like chicken tonight
A clear violation of the Endangered Species Act! Wait…what KIND of eagle?
