Reported Drone Collision Was a Birdstrike
// AVweb Top News

Although it hasn't been officially confirmed, last week's reported collision between a drone and a Piper PA-23 was, in fact, a bird strike. Residue on the aircraft's de-icing boot was analyzed by the Smithsonian Institution and found to contain the remains of a small, non-predatory bird, sources familiar with the investigation told Avweb on Friday. The NTSB has opened up an investigation on the incident but we weren't given a specific schedule on when its findings might be released.
