What a horror! This would make me cry after landing. Glad there are no injuries
to humans.

Most unfortunate event, but I'm impressed you, or whoever the pilot was, maintained
composure and handled the situation wonderfully. Great job flying the airplane
first and dealing with other issues later!

N312F is down for repairs.

Wow, BIG BIRD! How about, "an almost frozen turkey"! Compliments to the pilot,
if that was you, Jim, for maintaining composure and getting her down safely.
I feel for you having to do another windshield and paint.
Man, that thing even bent the center post. Did the pilot get his/her headset and
glasses knocked off too? Hopefully not too many war wounds for the pilot???

What altitude was the plane at?
Did the pilot have a chance to duck?
