Bird would need a supercharger at that altitude.

Wow - can’t believe that tail is still hanging on.

The name of that B-17 was "All American" and it was on a mission over Tunis when a German fighter aircraft crashed through the fuselage.

All American made it back to base and a safe landing.

30k feet? Birds? I don’t think so.

Well, my mistake. Apparently some vultures do, in fact, fly at that level. :(
