Bird Strike
Went for an evening flight last night and on our down-wind leg we evidently hit a small bird. Even with headsets on it was quite loud. At first we didn't know what the noise was but soon saw the 3" splat on the windscreen. I think we were quite fortunate not to have the windscreen break; eventhough it wasn't a large bird, the momentum of inpact must have been great! Sure was surprised to hit one at night. No damage to the plane but I am more convinced than ever to wear some sort of eye protection at all times.
