Hawk attacking my glider video in Malibu
As fighter pilots say, "A kill is a kill."
Ask British Hang Gliding Team pilot Judy Leden what it's like to be shot down by a Wedgetail eagle. (Australia, 1988 on a practice flight two days before the World Championships started) The "Wedgie" took offense on her territorial encroachment and slashed her Dacron sail so severely that she had to deploy her emergency parachute. The manufacturer express shipped a replacement sail in time for Judy to compete in the Championships. Every pilot offered to buy her chicken, goose, turkey, quail, duck or other avian sandwiches every day. No eagle sandwiches, though. You obviously don't want to **** those guys off.
