Saturday evening Baptist Med-Flight departed Memphis enroute back to Little Rock without a patient. Med Flight struck a flock of birds around the Forrest City area and made an emergency landing. The pilot suffered some minor injuries and everyone was shaken up. Attached are the pictures from the incident and the associated damages that occurred to their aircraft. Med-Flight does not wear helmets and the crew is lucky the pilot’s vision remained intact to land the aircraft. I don’t know how many actually keep their visor screen down during all operations, but the following pictures may change your thoughts. Please note the debris patterns that transitioned into the patient compartment of the aircraft. I highly encourage the practice of visors down during all operations and these pictures are the reasons why. Be safe. Page Up /Page Down to advance slides
