February 25, 201412 yr Moderator This is the second video of an in-flight bird strike through the pilot's windscreen. I suppose it is a result of the ubiquity of GoPro cameras being used these days. In any event, props to the pilot for a safe landing! :Applause: Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

Wonder if the increase in cockpit videos, especially those now being posted on major news sources, will cause a resurgence in interest in personal aviation? There's no doubt the GoPro has causing a resurgence or peaked an interest in other hobbies. James Bennett
