Well, I went flying my SR-71 edf jet last Monday. I noticed the runway was full of goose droppings. I though it may be a good idea to remove them before take-off but was too impatient and decided to take off anyway. The plane roared down the runway and just before takeoff, the right fan hit a bird dropping and exploded, sending blades right through the engine nacelle. With the left engine on full power, the plane turned right and started to roll, I quickly powered down and it plopped down in the soaked grass at the end of the runway (in the Hudson
). Luckily not too much damage except to my ego, but I promised myself to bring a broom next time to avoid bird poo strikes on take-off.
