Remark Photographer
D-AIQW (cn 1367) Well I had review through my fotos and found that one. This is no fake!!! This is a BIRDSTRIKE. Look closely to the right upper winglet as you see the bird is just being cut some milliseconds ago. The body is just at the winglet, and I think the head slightly left of it. Another part is is on the right side. And there is a blood patch on the left side. Again: No FAKE ! This is a total coincidence.

How could Lufthansa kill a bird if its logo is a bird. Great shot though, but poor bird.

For a bird that size, I think it was a pigeon. I wonder if the passengers saw it too. T.B.
