This incident was video recorded by Simon
Lowe. 233 people where on board this jet
bound for Lanzarote. The number 2 engine
sucks in one bird (a crow or corvid) as the
plane rotates off the runway.
T.V. news reports of two herons being sucked
in are wrong.
Congratulations to the crew and air-traffic
controllers for the calm and professional way
they dealt with the situation. Please
checkout more video's by me on

A bird strike (sometimes birdstrike, bird
hit, or BASH (bird aircraft strike hazard))
in aviation, is a collision between an
airborne animal (most often a bird, but also
sometimes another species) and a man made
vehicle, especially aircraft. It is a common
threat to aircraft safety and has caused a
number of fatal accidents.Fortunatly the
instructor and trainee survivrd the accident
the aircraft was BAE Hawk. Tags :AccidentcrashbirdHawktrainerjetairplanefighterBAEboeing787AirbusA380sukhoiSu-27Su-34Mig2935pilot
A Bird hit our A319 after take off from Gib
(You can hear the vibrations when the engine
is hit by the bird at sec 47). Afterwards the
engine has been shut down and we have been
diverted for an emergency landing with only
one running engine in Malaga. Have fun all
went well and the crew aboard was very
professional. Tags :aircraftlandingemergencyiberiagibraltarmalagaairbusbirdstrikeengineflightaccidentairline
Some shots of what happens when birds take a
dislike to each other in flight. It's
fascinating how in some of the shots the
smaller bird (a falcon called a hobby) makes
a half-roll onto its back then rights itself
just before knocking the larger bird (a
buzzard) out of the sky. Tags :birdstrikeflyflightflyingbuzzardhobbyhobbiesfightwarwickshirehawkfalcon
