A TAM Transporte Aereo Militar (Bolivia) Fokker F27-400 Friendship, registration FAB-90 performing a scheduled flight from Guayaramerin to Trinidad (Bolivia) with 25 passengers, was climbing out of Guayaramerin when a bird contacted the right hand propeller and impacted and damaged the leading edge of the right hand wing. The damaged propeller caused the airframe to vibrate. The aircraft returned to Guayaramerin for a safe landing about 15 minutes after departure.

Passengers reported there was a bang and the aircraft began to vibrate when the aircraft climbed out. The crew decided to return to Guayaramerin identifying a bird had impacted the aircraft. After landing cracks were detected in the right hand wing's leading edge bending part of the leading edge upward just outboard of the right hand engine.
