"A bit of news about this airplane I'm flying in this video. On June 10, 2014 at around 4:00 pm the airplane was involved in a birdstrike. A duck came through the windshield. The windshield was almost completely destroyed and there is a small hole in the vertical stabilizer. The pilot was having trouble maintaining altitude after the birdstrike and landed on the beach at Cedar Point."
