If you have ever had to clean up and repair an aircraft post birdstrike you can almost smell that picture....

Is the bird OK?

Can someone please explain to me the appearance of the horizon through the rear canopy for the Instructor or Navigator in the back seat?

I can't match the horizon through the rear canopy to the trees behind. It looks like the top of a hillside to me.

Not every day you can see a broken jet from your front garden, the wind noise was so loud here let alone inside
