Now this is something that can dissipate long-haul boredom in a microsecond.

Check out what a pelican did to an RAAF F-111 today! Watch the video on the page for the images

Awesome and gross at the same time. Love to start my moring with crazy news stories

Having removed dead goose from the front of an aircraft in a previous life, the worst part is the smell...

Although it beats cleaning civil servant vomit out of the back seat

I guess there wouldn't have been much left of the bird, but it makes you wonder how easy it is to land when a pointy beak has gone through the necessary discombobulator on your instrument panel.

If bird parts have come right through to the other side, the back-end of the instruments must be fairly messed-up.
