Check it out, tells you how strong that thing is. This was during a show in Yakima, Washington and it is the A-10 West Coast demo team.

Ouch!

I'm surprised it took a chunk that big still... :shock:

Once had a bird strike in the "Urge" that put a dent in the engine lip the size of a basketball, but no missing pieces. Nice capture by the camera guy in this video though!
