February 21, 201016 yr Now that Captain Sully has called to attention bird strikes-this is the first fish strike I have heard of! We need this pronto in fs! :( http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/cado...&srchtype=3 In case the link doesn't work:Detail InformationUser Name:Boles, Will Date:2009-07-27 Further Action Required:Yes O.P.I.:Commercial & Business Aviation Narrative:The (Air Canada) Jazz Air Limited Partnership de Havilland DHC-8 aircraft (operating as flight JZA7710) was departing on a scheduled IFR flight from London International Airport (CYXU) to Toronto (LBPIA) (CYYZ). It was reported that the aircraft impacted with a fish on takeoff roll and rejected the takeoff. Update 109348-V2 The aircraft was on takeoff roll when an overflying osprey dropped a fish (carp) which impacted the aircraft. Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
February 21, 201016 yr If the fish impacted rear end first, I suppose it should have been reported as a 'tail strike'. Always somebody carping about one thing or another!Alex Reid

February 22, 201016 yr That is clever, thanks for the grin it gave me!Best regards,MelI expected to see a incident date of April the first, but no, it was on 2009-07-25. Only in Canada!
February 22, 201016 yr Sure, and you notice the osprey got the blame when everyone knows it is those pesky Canadian carp trying to learn to fly.Mel
February 22, 201016 yr this is the first fish strike I have heard of!Geofa, hanks so much! You've made my day :( Though of course no emergency situation is funny.But now that we know everything's fine, the mere idea of a 'fish strike' (a carp, lol!) gives me such a big laugh.
February 23, 201016 yr Commercial Member Absolutely awesome. Osprey (my favourite kind of bird) takes out airliner (my least favourite kind of airplane) with fish ordnance. That totally made my day. Thanks for posting that Geof. :)-Mike Mike Johnson - Lotus Simulations
