Standard response in what you'd expect from a pilot faced with such circumstances.

Yes, there was a thread on it. Goa airport was closed after that. This happened few weeks back.

Search for "Goa airport temporarily closed after MiG-29K fighter jet crash-lands on runway". Ignore the catchy title.

where is the proof that the pilot managed to land the plane? All I see is take off + bird strike + fuel tanks jettison..

without any proof, we have to assume that the pilot crashed his plane..

good and quick thinking by the pilot and he should be rewarded for saving the aircraft, bird strikes can often result in casualty

Copybook display of SOP and split second decision of a young unexperienced pilot saved the day.

the fuel tanks exploded like bombs thank goodness they fell on clear ground.
great work by pilot indeed.

Million dollar Bird strike.

Lol.
We dozens of spare Adour engines & engine spare parts.

Why laugh? It will take HAL years to patch up, if they have the right parts.
