Disussed it during HPMA, A/C had started into an ILS aproach to rwy 33 but when he was not Getiing the ILS on his instruments for the intended runway he asked if the ILS was down. ATC informed him this was the case. ATC offered an ILS aproach to another runway but the A/C decided to carry out and NDB aproach to the original runway even though he did not have the required publication. Aircraft impacted ground ( side of a mountain) short of the runway.

I think you might want to check your data. A pelican? In Cold Lake? Don't think so, since they are ocean coastal birds, mainly on the pacific. Don't want to be picky, but thanking my stars for that zoology course all those years ago.

Here's the link, Heres the story.
Thursday, September 28, 2000 - Investigators have determined a bird strike caused the crash of an Air Force F-16CG fighter jet June 21 on the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range in Alberta, Canada.
The pilot of the aircraft, Capt. Richard Pietrykowski, from the 388th Fighter Wing, Hill Air Force Base Utah, ejected safely and sustained only minor injuries. The F-16 impacted the ground in a lightly forested muskeg area of the weapons range and was completely destroyed.
According to the investigation report released today by Air Combat Command, the crash occurred when a mature American White Pelican struck the canopy of the F-16. The pelican penetrated the windscreen, causing structural failure of the canopy and heads-up display. Debris from the canopy, the HUD and the pelican struck the pilot, causing confusion, disorientation and vision loss.
Pietrykowski ejected from the aircraft and was picked up by Canadian search and rescue forces. At the time of the accident, Pietrykowski and his unit were taking part in the Maple Flag joint training exercise.
