The United States Air Force loses millions of dollars due to bird strikes each year. The most serious damage to the aircraft and injury to the pilot occurs when birds penetrate the windshield/canopy system. The Air Force Bird/Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Team has recorded over 1000 bird strikes on windshields and canopies since 1975. With this extensive amount of data, trends have been found relating to the types of aircraft, phases of flight, and types of birds most vulnerable to being involved in a serious windshield/canopy strike. This report discusses these trends, as well as the types of birds encountered and focuses on F-4 and F-16 weapon systems.
