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". :DIgnore 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
 
He missed fantastic tea we offered to Abhi.

Hope he is safe. I’m talking about pilot :tup:.
