Heh, cool. I like that clip of the blade being worked in the CNC machine. I have a good idea where it was taken because a big shop here in my area makes the blades for RR. Or used to anyways.

BTDT seen more than my fair of ingestations/strikes/busted windshields.  Hail damage, mid-air collisions, lightning strikes, ejections, deaths and carnage.
The last ingestion I witnessed as a Tower ATC was in Beaumont.....C550 sucked an egret in right in front of the tower.  I watched the whole thing unravel....

It said that not one, but two Herons had been sucked into the engine.

Ahh!  Then it was an egretable incident.

CpBirdFlt discrete(bit 4) "Bird sucked into compressor"

I've never run into that one ... perhaps it's a bit moot by that time Wink

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
