5/9/2005: C-130 versus bald eagle, C-130 wins [warning, graphic] - Page 2

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...

Welcome aboard, 130Load!

Your apparently expert opinion is helpful and welcome. It sounds like you spend a lot of time around these kind of environments (minus bloody bird parts, I reckcon). I wonder what other tales you could tell.

Anyway, thanks for the info. Looking forward to more informative posts.

Oh man - I can relate to those pics! I had a bald eagle crash into my windsheild a few years ago while I was heading into town doing about 45. It smashed the windsheild, dented the top of my truck, bent my antenna...etc.
I always wondered if I could go after the government for the damage that it's "protected symbol" did to my truck. lol
