Bird Strike Forces Emergency Landing on President Herzog’s Helicopter
An Israeli Air Force helicopter carrying President Isaac Herzog on a routine flight made an emergency landing earlier today, Thursday, at an air base in central Israel after a bird strike. The landing was carried out because of the incident, according to the military.
The IDF said no one was hurt and the helicopter was not damaged. In a statement, the army described the response as standard procedure after such an event.
The flight crew was transferred to another helicopter and continued the trip. The affected aircraft was handed over to Air Force technical teams for further checks and repairs, with the goal of returning it to regular service as soon as possible.
