What happened here?

[Mike man]

Who cares what it hit? The pilots thought they hit something so instead of flying it for 16 hours and wondering if the #1 engine lip is ok, they did the most correct thing (based on the information they had) and had it checked out.

I think the guy just wanted to know what it hit, just as I do. I don't think he was looking for a bunch of crap!

anyone know what hit the number 1 engine?

It was a bird strike (undetermined type) and was subsequently ferried (3 engines) back to SFO.

i'll tell you what it didn't hit. my paycheck, cause that thing hardly puts a dent in my mailbox, let alone a 747 engine cowl.

No, I have it on good authority that it was an Oregon Gray Goose.
