| Forum Health Inspector | Post; Gunsight Video: Bird StrikeDespite what the caption says, it's not an F-14. Appears to be a RCAF BAe Hawk flown by the advanced students at 2 CFFTS (Canadian Forces Flying Training School) out of 15 Wing, CFB Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. Video link. News report here. Ouch! As someone else I know put it, "fast-moving bogey at 12 o'clock!"

| Banned  | Yes, it is a HAWK... Compare an F-14 HUD which is an older version with HAWK's HUD. |

| Milites Gregarius | Some fool on another forum said the pilot should of saved it and landed back at base. Then went on to say his brothers a trainee airline pilot and managed to land a cessna when the engine failed coming into land  Oh boy did we flame him, he couldnt quite grasp the concept that when a jet fighter loses its engine(s) it doesnt turn into a glider like your average light aircraft. I think the instructor did a superb job, he went through all the correct drills of trying to restart before ejecting, and also pointed it away from a built up area in the distance. I think its the student pilot who is breathing pretty damn heavy though. |
