Low flight and wildlife

Something should be done about wildlife breaking federal law.

Which is why we have a constitutional right to harm bears.


Low enough to scare the animals.

From memories of ridge soaring (sailplanes) in Ireland, I remember
the three important altitudes: high enough that the sheep ignore you
(plenty safe); high enough that the sheep start running away from you
(still safe enough); high enough that the sheep start jumping up (time
to pay real close attention)...

The wildlife gets disturbed.

Actually considering the amount of widlife which has no problem settling
down near airports and/or military training grounds, I'd say it would take
a lot to disturb them.

I suspect the real reason is so that the
Sierra Club doesn't get disturbed.

Remember the story of the drunk flyer, that shot his own plane, while
hunting from the air?

Shot himself right out of the sky, as I remember.

'Course, that could just be another urban legend. g

I knew a guy that was shot down by one of his own waist gunners - does that
count? The gun mount broke and the gunner didn't let go of the trigger as he
(and the gun) fell backwards...

Not an urban legend. There was a write up of it some aviation book and
the NTSB apparently said something like, if that one guy hadn't lived a
few days and told us what happened we would have NEVER imagined this!
