I was just wondering......if the aircraft was an F-14 as mentioned, it would
have two engines. I got the impression the bird caused a flameout in one
engine. If so, do you think the pilot could have recovered using the other
one or was he too low since he had just taken off? I dunno, but it's a damn
shame to lose an expensive piece of the taxpayers equipment that way and a
real bad day for the bird.

It was a Canadian Hawk (BAe) on a training flight with an instructor in
the back. The bird hit them whilst they were doing circuits and caused
the (only) engine to flame out. The instructor flew the plane while the
student tried unsuccessfully to restart the engine, after which they bailed.

Its talked about at some length on Ppreune, here :
