But Eric Greenwell once ran into a kite string at (I think) over 4000
ft. He didn't see the kite though.


Saw the kite, didn't reconize it as such, flew towards it, and
discovered a thick string on the leading edge of my Ka-6E. It broke
about the time I realized it was a large box kite I had encountered, but
not without sawing into the wood leading edge a bit.
