My guess would be the bird came through a panel(window) by the pilots left knee, passed the pilot and ended up on the floor by the navigators seat.

C-130 Aircrew member perspective...

What you guys are looking at the bottom of the photo is the back of the pilot seat, and the armrest is the engineer seat which is behind and between the pilot and copilot seat. You are looking at the cockpit left side circuit breaker panel (basically under the leftside windows), and the eagle flew though the pilots left foot window. The right side of the pic is toward the front of the aircraft,and there are 4 crew seats in the cockpit. Several pics of this incident went through Herk safety offices world wide. Pretty nasty!

I saw this picture a few months back on another web site. I thought it was a fake. As I poked around the web I came across this site UT was talking about. There were the other two pictures that put it all into perpective. Lots of windows in the front of these things. Plenty of ops for something (or someone) to come crashing through.

1. The eagle wiper needs to be upgraded.
2. The guy posing for the post-splatter picture has a lot of class.
3. Welcome, 130! Nice to have a bonafide expert on this rather arcane subject...
