I would call that a "bird strike". Of course,

Should someone report that tree to the FAA for endangering normal aircraft operations?

The USAF can fly at mach 3 and send poeple into space. Yet they still can't reach the video quality of a 1990 VHS tape recorder :roll:

Maybe because they still use VHS as a recording platform for tapes??? No flimsy electronics, sturdy, can be visualized even after a crash and easy to destroy if required.
