I do hope this isn't the poor little cold robin you wrote about a few days ago.

Well, the thing about this is that if birds were dogs I'd think one got really scared. I'm pretty sure that there was no bird strike this time, but don't know what left the brown stains on the wing. Or the feather. Could it have been an egg that got scared out of a bird? No sign of yellow or albumin, though. I've seen similar brown stains on the leading edge a couple of other times, too, with no dents in the wing. Mystery.

I've seen brown stains in my underwear after some of my early landings.

Don, you have to have something solid (PVC?) behind that metal 'cause that's a strike for sure. I have <br />seen many on mil planes and a few on prop jobs.

Ken, I did reinforce the sharp curve of the leading edge slightly to make construction easier, but none of the three or four brownstrikes I've had has ever left even the slightest impression on the wing, and I've never seen one happen. So although I don't have any good other ideas, it's still a mystery to me. The feather is tiny, so maybe it was a tiny bird.

Well, he won't have the guts to do that again!! <br /><br />Seriously, United Airlines does hold a unique distinction when one of our B-737s had a trout strike. Yep, that's what I said. They had just taken off from Anchorage and at about 600' AGL....WHAP....and there's a rainbow trout impaled on the Captain's windshield wiper. Reconstructing....in case you hadn't though of this already....the Feds figured it was being carried by an eagle that they spooked though they never saw it. Poor fish never had a chance!!
