Can that engine be reused? Is it forever toast?    I’ll be coming back to look for Akham and Hogmann’s comments on this. They’ll both have something to say… |

Re: FedEx Boeing 767-300F Suffers Bird Strike on Engine No.2
Probably shredded. But when we had a bird strike on Lears, the FAA always took feathers to turn over to ornithologists to get information on breed of bird, etc. |
