Hawks, Vultures and Geese at 250 kts will blow right through a C-130 wing leading edge and if in the right place, a cockpit window.

Short of taking out an engine or a cockpit window, most all bird strikes are pretty harmless.

One of our Herks, #321, has a nasty habit of attracting birds. It takes more bird strikes per year than the other 14 planes combined.

We hit an Ostrich on landing in Somalia in 1994. Messed up the plane (mainly the gear door) pretty bad.
