In article , Tony Verhulst
flippin' ridge. They had
their wings tucked in real close and were just ?zipping along. T
hey were at ridge top level about 30 feet in front of us ?and it was just
amazing. I can only guess at what their airspeed was, ?but they were probably
moving across the ridge at 20 to 30mph and so ?when you factor in the 90+ mph
wind speed, their ASIs were probably ?hitting near 130. You'll never convince me
they were flying to catch ?lunch - they were flying because they were having a
blast. Of this I ?have absolutely no doubt.??Tony V. LS6-b "6N"?

For that matter, what the heck are red-tails doing
up at FL180 in the middle of the summer. They sure
are not spotting food or migrating. And what sort
of O2 saturation levels are they maintaining?
