If you look just past the guys elbow it seems like there's damage there as well. It seems like a pretty large area to be damaged from a drone strike

Could it be that some guy has it out for drone users, so he fabricates a story about hitting one in midair just to cover up the fact that he really just smacked it with a tug, thereby continuing his devious plan for a drone free world? Sure. That's possible too. We'll in all likelihood NEVER know, unless 1) the drone pilot comes forward and says "yeah, that was me" or 2) A hanger employee comes forward and says "I saw that guy totally tag the tail with a ladder". But given that there have been some 700 "drone" sightings/close calls this year alone (according to an FAA report), I don't think it's impossible for one of them to finally make contact.

I agree, there is a chance it happened. Whatever happened happened with enough force to cut the deicing boot but there wasn't that much real intrusion into the structure of the leading edge. That is one of the many reasons why I an skeptical.

Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed, last week’s reported collision between a drone and a Piper PA-23 was, in fact, a bird strike. Residue on the aircraft’s de-icing boot was analyzed by the Smithsonian Institution and found to contain the remains of a small, non-predatory bird, sources familiar with the investigation told AVweb on Friday. |
