I've seen pics of a C-130 birdstrike that shattered one of the windows near the pilot's feet. The bald eagle (ironic, eh?) that the -130 hit ended up on the aft bulkhead at the back of the cockpit. It was pretty gory. Fortunately both pilots were unharmed, aside from some blood splatter. If you Google "bird strike" and c-130, you'll get a few of the pictures in case anyone's interested.
