Is Karl bringing any feathered guests ? Last falconry presentation
of Karl's I attended was great fun, especially after the guest flew up
to a chandellier !

See you in Memphis,
Best Regards, Dave

PS: I'll be the one in the middle of the huge crowd 'round my
Antares 20E, but my feathered buddy (on my arm at the moment)
is staying home...

I don't believe that Karl is bringing along a feathered friend. He's
flying into ORD and I don't think that the airlines would allow that
kind of carry on baggage. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Now if Karl WOULD bring a hawk on the flight to Chicago and if the hawk
WOULD decide to spend time flying up and down the aisle - would the ac
then consume less fuel due to the reduced weight?
My answer is of course NO since the fuselage is a closed and static
system (although there is obviously an air exchange) and as such the
total mass would not change. Any other opinions?

Herb,

Maybe the hawk could just grab a seatback and flap really hard...???

Well, any sensible hawk would fly up to first class for better food.
Then, passengers would run aft, thereby decreasing trim drag.
So, less fuel consumption but possibly an interesting landing ?
See ya, Dave

I just talked to KS and ask him to bring this year's hawk over to my farm
for a hunt. He told me he could not, as he just released his hawk for this
year. He told me it was set free for a "low IQ" He said it was the dumbest
bird he had ever seen. Hmmmm, glad to see that birds can suffer from human
aspects as well......LOL

Stupid? You got a choice of eating some undercooked rabbit by Iris and
sit on Karl hand looking at and listening to Karl beg for advice OR
flying off somewhere chasing naked girliebirds eating fresh kill
dripping in blood. I think Karl got out-hawked.
