AJ, did QF have a flight out of South Africa ingest birds into a windmill just after takeoff? Maybe it was SAA - I just had a friend blog about it after the flight landed, but she was vague as to the carrier.

(links)Originally posted by AV HeraldA Qantas Boeing 747-400, registration VH-OEI performing flight QF-64 from Johannesburg (South Africa) to Sydney,NS (Australia) with 171 passengers, was in the initial climb out of Johannesburg when the #2 engine (CF6, inboard left) ingested a bird. The crew shut the engine down, levelled off, dumped fuel and returned to Johannesburg for a safe landing about 90 minutes after departure.
Qantas confirmed the bird strike and said, the engine received some minor damage to turbine blades. While as many passenger as possible will be rebooked onto regular flight QF-64 of Nov 17th, the remaining passengers are now expected to reach Sydney on the repaired incident aircraft with a delay of probably 28 hours depending on the progress of the repairs.
