2000 Video: Eric D. Olson

2000 - Avianca B757 ingests a turkey buzzard while rotating on 27L

Miami International Airport


My buddy Eric D. Olson was shooting video on the south side of MIA and he observed this AV 757 ingest a turkey buzzard when a small flock of them flew in front of the aircraft on takeoff roll. We freeze framed the video and I took a photo of the TV for this image. The #2 engine kept making loud bangs with flames coming out until the crew shut the engine down and returned to the field for an engine change.

Turkey buzzard, cooked well done and little crispy.
Awesome photo.
