- An Air Force flight instructor and his student are flying at 400 miles per hour just above Randolph Air Force Base when they're struck by a bird. A frantic struggle ensues as they try to regain control.

I"m surprised at how long it took from the time the bird is visible and the moment of impact. I would have thought that it would be much shorter considering they're going 400 MPH.

Would have loved a comment from the bloke in training. Wonder what he would have had to say about a bird actually hitting him at 400~ mph. Thank God the glass took the brunt of the hit.
Sage Channel y u here sage
@IAmaPersion The vultures in Texas are the largest on the north American continent. That bird probably had over a 5 foot wingspan.
@IAmaPersion The bird wasn't flying towards the plane, it was horizontal. The full wingspan of the bird never went through the cockpit, or was visible on camera. They said that only half the bird actually made contact. It wouldn't not make the cockpit 20 feet, that makes zero logical sense.
@IAmaPersion First of all the bird was turned so his wings were vertical. Secondly, canopies are not meant to take this hit. All they are supposed to do is keep the plane aerodynamic while providing protection to the crew from wind and elements.
@IAmaPersion I'm honestly not sure how to reply to you... I'm completely dumbfounded. I've tried, but it always ends up with me trying to explain basic physics and turning into a lecture. There's no way someone can be this ignorant. You have to be trolling us...
Is that an F-5E Tiger? It’s still flown by the Air Force today?
It was a T-38, the training variant of the F-5. There were about 1,100 T-38s manufactured with the last one delivered in 1972. I was an Instrument Systems Specialist on the T-38 in the late 70s while in the USAF stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
Accidentally deleted my original comment,
The incident was two WO1 flight students during Primary Flight Training at Fort Rucker in (early to mid 2004-ish) were involved in a bird strike which struck the instructor pilot knocking him unconscious and slumped forward on the controls. The secondary student pilot(who sits in the back of the TH-67A) had to reach forward and pull the full weight of the IP off the controls so the student sitting in the front could try and get the helicopter back on the ground safely. Having very few hours in the helicopter they students managed to land safely and get medical care to the injured instructor(survived). Learning to fly a helicopter is hella difficult so it would be interesting for Smithsonian to do a short video, all I know is the shortened and hazy version of events as I was quickly passing one of the students in the hall the day they were receiving the award and this was around August? of 2004 in Bravo Company 1-145th.
"Hella." It's REALLY time to let go of that word.
Oh hella no!
Nunya F. Business 😂
@@albertledesma5173 Cartman would disagree.
Wait I cant find any info on a TH-67A. all I get are choppers, is that the right aircraft? Looks like a T-38 to me.
So.....he gave you the "Bird!"
It's amazing how military aircraft have ways to avoid bullets, missiles and bombs but birds can (and have) take down these multi million dollar aircraft. Thankfully the men in the plane were alright. Great video.
It's incredible the damage such a fragile small creature can inflict on an aircraft traveling at subsonic speed
It’s the velocity of the jet hitting the vulture that does the damage. Fortunately, the vulture didn’t hit dead center of the canopy or there would have been a dead pilot and possibly a ejection of the pilots.
Did they paint a vulture on the nose?
have you seen the video of the car chase onto an Airforce base?. during the chase, the fleeing vehicle clips the horizontal stabilizer (rear wing) of a parked fighter jet, decapitating the passenger and disabling the fleeing vehicle. in a follow up it was disclosed that after the fighter was repaired and put back in service, they did indeed paint a little truck under the canopy to signify a kill.

Hello, I saw that video (pretty lengthy), and it was a naval base (NAS LaMoore I think?) and it was the tail of an F-18 that they clipped during the chase. I believe the driver also ended up dying from his injuries as well.

Is that from when it was an egg or when it hatched??
Birds live longer than people
This is how pilots get their call signs. The student in the back is now called “big bird”
Is the bird ok?..I hope they nursed him back to health and set him free
The bird felt nothing at all. The passenger on the other hand felt everything
Well Emil, shouldn't have been flying in occupied air space.
About 1980-81, my friend Captain McGrath of the Air National Guard in Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho had the same thing happen to his wing man when they were flying F-4 Phantoms.. His wing man was blinded and could NOT see and so McGrath talked him down and he sucessfully landed and saved the aircraft. Birds can be very dangerous..
Flight instructor "Today you gonna learn how to smash into birds. Watch and learn"
Student "sir yes sir"
What about the guys shoulder???
And what if the vulture had recently had a big meal? *hold your nose*
it tore half his arm off
He recovered and ordered 50 mild wings ...ate them all.
Bird was equipped with a cloaking device, it didn't show up on radar.
Let us all take a moment to appreciate the number patch attached to this fine man's left shoulder

All people care about is animals these days. If both of the pilots were sucked out of the plane at 400mph people would still care more about the bird.

*"Watch your jet bro! Watch your jet!"*

Student: Of all birds; it had to be a Black Vulture?
I haven't seen anything about Randolph AFB since I moved from San Antonio in the late 80s. Then BAM! A birdstrike video. God bless our Air Force. Glad this incident wasn't worse.
I’m surprised that the canopy even broke, shouldn’t it be made of some really strong?
It took a twenty pound bird at four hundred miles an hour. I think if it were made of anything tougher...it'd be too heavy to be a plane part.
The bird is clearly was trying to avoid collision, and this "Maverick" didn't even move a muscle.
Ouch! Buzzard guts Gross... 400 Mph head wind Priceless!
who gonna clean that back seat
Design flaw! Bullet proof glass stops bullets over 2000mph but jet glass at 400mph can't stop a bird?
We had one of our KC-135R aircraft take a turkey vulture on #4 engine on takeoff rotation. The bird is about thirty pounds. Tower confirmed bird carcass on runway. Engine instruments were reading good, so the aircraft completed its eight hour flight. When we were marshaling the aircraft to its parking spot, something didn't look right on number four. After shutdown, and closer inspection, we found the impact bent four of the fan blades back about 30 degrees. The ends of the blades tore out all the acoustical panels on the inlet. All that damage and not even a vibration issue with the engine.
I would have confronted that bird.
Oh, they definitely did front that bird.
Issue the bird a ticket for Counter flowing. 😁
Vaehp *_Lisa Guerrero would’ve confronted that bird!_*

Which piece of the bird?
"Probably" the worst thing that has happened to him in an airplane? I bet this guy has some good stories.
Never one day in combat .
This is the worst thing that happened to him. So it only goes down from here. It means it is not any more exciting than this.
@@traininggrounds9450 No. "Worst thing" would mean it only goes down from there. "Probably the worst thing" could mean, out of two or more others, this is probably the worst. So he is implying that there has been more than one situation that could arguably be the "worst". Kind of like how I can't say your reply is the dumbest reply on CZcams, but I can say that it probably is.
@@alexandergillis6276 Or it is the only thing that has happened to him and he says "probably" in order to not indicate that this was actually his only real incident as a pilot. So no, he is not implying anything but simply remaining ambiguous not to indicate anything. No need to disrespect people. But you went to the extreme in doing it using "dumbest" which implies that you are trying really hard to establish dominance as soon as possible with as much fluff and attitude as you can muster. Relax. I don't do peacock battles.
@@traininggrounds9450 But you do go around posting snarky replies on people's harmless comments. How come you are backwards in your thinking?
I love how one of the pilots say ever so calmly: “bird” right before it hits.
i used to work inside kelly A.F.B on the washrack ( washing C-5's ) loved it.!
Amazing the bird even saw it coming looked like it tried to avoid it more than pilot.
i barely know anything about flying, but i think the HUD says 2700 ft not 500....
Altitude readout is from sea level. Some of the MOAs west of San Antonio are over ground elevations between 1000 and 2500 feet.
Yeah the altimeter is reading MSL, not AGL.
If you look on the bottom-ish right side of the HUD, there's a container with an R to the left of it. That's the radar altimeter readout, so yeah they were hovering around 500 ft
0:54 the guy sounded like quagmire for a sec
Bird just came to say: If we are not in your Land Space why are you in my Air Space?
But got a wrong way to say!
Makes me wonder what would happen if a rocket heading to space hit a flock of birds. Im not sure how high these rockets climb before they reach similar speeds, I figure the odds are ridiculously low, but non zero.
Rockets dont have glass windows
Fighter jets don't have glass windows either.
@@timmeagher4333 but the canopy is made of plexi glass...
Rockets are so loud that he birds are scared off. Even if they did hit a bird, the rocket would be in much better shape than the bird for sure.
This is the Sequel to Bird Box
I had a double bird strike through the windshield on a Grumman AA1 at 120 mph. Never saw the darn things until they hit but they took out almost all the windshield leaving a gaping hole several feet wide.
But at 120mph not too bad, just noisy and very windy. Slowed down to 90 mph and cruised carefully back to base and landed normally.
Found the bird bodies in the rear luggage area behind the pilot and passenger side-by-side seats. One of them had hit me on the right shoulder and left a bruise.
Along with the dead birds were rings for their legs - I discovered later that they were racing pigeons of a type unlike normal pigeons. These were small, about the size of a sparrow or a little bigger perhaps.
i know of several aircraft here in South Africa hit by large birds like vultures, eagles etc - at least two such accidents brought the aircraft down and proved fatal to the occupants!
Instead of dog fighting, this is bird fighting.
I almost hit a vulture once. I was riding a motorcycle. That would've hurt.
First of all I want to know if that bird filed a flight plan, and second I want to know if its family was compensated for its loss.
Glad you both made it down ok ! Thank you both for your service & God Bless you both !
Heyyy! i live right under the 34 approach at kelly. Get to see galaxies and amazons all the time. Talons and f16s once in a while but saw this one landing on my way to work i figured something major happened as i could see the canopy damage.

At Zaragoza Air Base Spain, we lost a F4-E (SP)around 1986. The F-4 was just coming off a bombing run on the target, when the bird hit the front canopy, incapacitating the front seater. The back seater tried to regain control of the aircraft, however the left wingtip clipped the ground, cartwheeling the aircraft into pieces. Both pilot’s were killed.
The airspeed tape on left showed around 350 as in 350 kts. Knots. Thats aout 400-402 mph. 1.15 mph for every 1 knot of speed.
THANK YOU TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY FOR KEEPING US SAFE NO MATTER THE SERVICE OR RANK. YOU ARE ALL A TEAM THAT GET THE JOB DONE WELL AT ANY COST!
Im wondering. Can birds even dodge a plane?
The planes that travel much slower? Yes.
Sure they can, when they see the plane coming.
Maybe less sluggish birds would be better at it.
Could you dodge a car travelling at 400mph if you weren't expecting it?
They typically try to. If they see you coming, they tend to dive, which is why we tend to jink up if we see them. Usually it's too late at fighter airspeeds once you see them
Don't need a missile to takeout a fighter jet. Just courageous birds. Proves again that the best weapon is courage.
One of my fellow students had bird strike at Web AF Base in 1972. Sandhill crane hit just below windshield. Put a big dent in the airplane at collision point and went through the windshield. Student okay but bloody from the bird. Instructor flew it back from rear seat.
Black Vultures have a clan based behavior pattern. If you are a bird and you AREN'T in the clan....you're just food. This vulture was attacking the plane with the intention of killing it and eating it.
How'd that work for you, Vulture?

@@je6874 Read about things before you develop opinions. The bird was attacking the plane. It's what they do. Quit being a dipshit.
I don't think it attack the plane. The plane move so fast that the bird may not have notice it until it's too late. You can see it try to evade the plane at the last second.
Vultures are scavengers , they don't hunt , so stop being stupid
