As it was landing an eagle struck the plane at it's windshield.
Both the pilot and passenger suffered minor injuries, from the breaking glass, but were released after treatment.
No word has been released on the eagle's condition, after the collision, but it apparently made it's escape.
Centennial Airport has recorded 108 wildlife strikes, since 1990, but this was the first eagle.
Since opening in 1995, Denver International Airport has recorded 4,121 bird and wildlife strikes, but never an eagle.
