Twenty years ago I was the owner of a Piper turbo Aztec (twin engine) and took a hit from two turkey buzzards. Had just spent a bunch of money at an avionics shop at KFTW and was flying the ILS at KAFW to see why wasn't capturing the GS at GS intercept altitude on the approach during VMC conditions. Flew into a gaggle of turkey buzzards rising up from below the aircraft. One of the birds hit the right wing leading edge between the fuel tanks and bent the spar. The another bird was heading for the cockpit but I was ducking and out of the corner of my eye the second bird went through the left engine's prop and bounced on the nacelle opening the oil inspection door. Have no idea what happened to the one that I thought was going to hit the windscreen. Broke off the approach and headed back to KFTW where the airplane was hangered which is when I noticed the hole in the right wing leading edge. Did a no flap landing without changing the airplane configuration from the approach. Notified the insurance company ($7,000.00 repair) which cost me $1,000.00 out of pocket (in motion deductible) amount. There was bird residue all over the spar and had always wanted to roll the Aztec Like Sky King from my childhood but after seeing the 0.025 wing skins I decided that probably was not a good idea. Airplane was down for about 6 weeks waiting for deice boot for the wing. GS problem was the coax running from the VOR/GS antenna mounted on the rudder which the avionics never checked out. A the time I was flying King Airs for a FAR 135 aeromedical company at the time living the dream of a second career now retired and having no regrets for changing careers.
