The Irish pilot told investigators he thought he had been "struck by a little bird" on takeoff in his five-seater Cessna 210...As the small aircraft...left the runway it collided with treetops which ripped off a 5ft 7ins section of the left wing. The fuel tank was later found on the ground - back in Ireland. It's a great advertisement for the Cessna 210.... not a real proud moment for the pilot or the 3 skilled flight engineers who didn't notice when it hit a tree.
I wonder how many cocoas they had at lunch!

This is just what I needed!
LOL!
Thanks!
(How could they fly that far without looking out the window to the wings...???)

A Dozy pilot flew his plane for two hours before he noticed that five-and-a-half feet of one wing had been torn off by a tree on take-off. His license should be revoked immediately.
