I liked the tweet from one of the OKC players - “did we just run into Superman?”

Looks like a bird strike ... and time for a new radome. Replace, not repair.

A little higher and the players would have had to
land the plane themselves.

I agree. I think it was a shape shifting, sky diving alien disguised as an eagle.

It was a pterodactyl.

What’s more worrisome is the pilot didn’t explain. Maybe the pilot and muzzy maintenance crew didn’t bother doing their pre flight check.

Pilot may not know. If hit in mid-air during turbulence, might not have felt anything.

But, it “is” a big dent. Landing the aircraft takes concentration, would you make a cabin announcement during approach?

That’ll buff right out!

After about 55 gallons of bondo on top of a week’s worth of crumpled newspapers.

Primer, a gallon of feathering compound, paint...
Then buff, but only lightly cause this one is bad luck and they are going to sell it off.
