July 2 (UPI) -- An A-10C Thunderbolt II jet was struck by a bird and dropped three dummy bombs used for training over northern Florida, the plane's home base in central Georgia said late Monday.
No one was injured when a "bird strike" caused the "inadvertent release" of three 25-pound nonexplosive training munitions Monday afternoon, Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta said in a news release obtained by UPI.
