Re: FedEx Boeing 767-300F Suffers Bird Strike on Engine No.2
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… |

According to a post on Reddit, this is what the engine looked like afterwards.

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. |
