Looks like the spar would be back behind the fuel tank. The fuel tank would have absorbed most of the impact and there should be no effect on the spar.

Also, the dent looks like it has no sharp edges or creases, just a nice round crater. Quite repairable,  it basically looks lke it could be pushed out from the inside, stripped of paint, inspected for cracks and then leak checked. (which is what sounds like happened).

Up and flying again in a few hours.

Could have been alot worse. Lucky guy.

Birds have a nasty habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The problem is that when you are moving through the air they go from being a small dot to feathers in the blink of an eye.

Birds are HO-tards:D

How did that thing miss the propeller, or did it?  I noticed some blood higher up on the fuselage.

geese at 70mph look similar,

many moons ago when i was younger  i drove a big rig hauling logs, hit a gaggle of geese flying through some trees lining the road on hwy99 north in No. Cal splattered about 20 of them, blood, guts, feathers, couple heads and plenty of geeze watermelon all over the front and sides of my cab. Smashed the radiator grill in about 2 inches is all it did to my rig.

PS ,mill security plucked 2 birds out of my cargo (logs) alive. He was a Pakistani and took them home for din din.

Glad you folks didn't get hurt and I'm glad it wasn't a serious ding.

Remember, they'll usually dive so tell him to suck that stick back next time. ;)

Date: 03 June 1995
Aircraft: Concorde
Airport: John F. Kennedy (NY)
Phase of Flight: Landing roll
Effect on Flight: Aircraft was towed to gate
Damage: Engines
Wildlife Species: Canada geese
Comments from Report: Aircraft ingested a Canada goose into the #3 engine which had an uncontained failure causing parts to go into the #4 engine. Both engines were destroyed. Flames and smoke were seen coming from both engines. Cost was over $9 million. Aircraft was out of service for 5 days. The NY Port Authority paid $5.3 million in compensation for losses


Interesting how the Port Authority paid for that and none others.
