The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating an incident in which a bird smashed through the windshield of a small plane flying into Lincoln.
Around 6 p.m. Tuesday, a small plane flying from Plattsmouth to Lincoln reported striking a bird about 10 miles from the airport. The bird strike shattered the windshield.
Bob McNally, deputy director of operations at the Lincoln Airport, said an incident like this is virtually unheard of for Lincoln.
"It hasn't happened here in Lincoln in a very long time, at least in decades," he said.
McNally said that the airport follows a wildlife management plan to deal with birds near the airport but dealing, but birds 10 miles from the airport can't easily be taken into account.
Emergency response agencies stood by as the plane landed. According to scanner traffic, one of the two people onboard the plane was checked out for possible injuries.
