wymberley Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 As usual, it's the poor old rigger that has to sort it all out! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusta Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Pilots were fine, no passengers on board that I'm aware of. Certainly makes a good case for helmets to be mandatory, they are only required if the operating company says so, I certainly wouldn't want a flock of birds hitting me without one (or with for that matter!)

fortune82 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I would have thought they would have made the windscreens bird proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
