I'd rather hit another pig than another buzzard!
Filthy creatures! Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature's clean up crew.
Dirt road or international race way, I see buzzards, I slow down!
Hit one that took out a headlight and damaged the grill in a Dodge "Dakota".
My f-i-l was a civilian electrician for the airforce at Sheppard AFB working on the little T6 trainers. A pilot and trainee hit a buzzard during takeoff.
Hit it hard enough it "strained" buzzard between the windshield and gasket into the cockpit.
Needless to say, they immediately returned to base.
The T6 has a little access door to some electronics that the crews also used to store their little dirty bags during flights.
F-I-L said if you ever popped the access door on that T6, there was NO DOUBT that was the plane.
