Pilot Skillfully Lands Plane After Vulture Crashes Into Cockpit, Video Shows

A pilot in Brazil is being applauded for his calm response to a vulture crashing through the windshield of his plane … skillfully touching down on the ground, instead of letting the situation turn into a total cock-up.

Check it out … the pilot calmly and coolly begins his descent into the Brazilian city of Eirunepe … even though the carcass of a dead bird dangles in his face.

The bird, which appears to be a local vulture, is clearly deceased — as it remains lifeless and bloody while hanging from the glass shards of the shattered windshield as wind gushes through.

Despite the pilot’s expert response, his co-pilot admits the whole thing was a “close call” … hinting the situation could’ve had a far darker end in a worst-case scenario.

According to local reports, 5 people were on board the small aircraft at the time of the incident — which took place on Thursday.

The single-engine flight — which reportedly took off from Envira — touched down without incident or injury.
