Flight S4-134 from Lajes to Lisbon (Portugal) with 109 people on board, departed Lajes runway 33 but reported a bird strike with resulting engine problems.

This audio clip is taken from the very first day the Lajes feed became available (see current list of new feeds).

Interesting info about Lajes:
On 24 August 2001, Air Transat Flight 236 en route to Lisbon from Toronto, Canada made an emergency landing at Lajes with no loss of life (the Airbus A330 had 293 passengers and 13 crew members on board), after running out of fuel over the Atlantic and gliding about 120 km.
