I don't understand the problem. Don't you fly upwind of the ridge and
approximately at or below the crest? Of course, if you fly above the crest,
I could see the conflict.

If you fly in front of the ridge, is there concern that the power companies
will lobby the FAA to prevent you from flying "too close"ly?

Two companies are planning the installation of wind turbines on top of Jacks
Mt near the Mifflin County Airport where contests have been held for 23
years. Ridge running on Jacks is vital to the success of soaring at Mifflin
and these devices would eliminate an essential part of the soaring activity.
See http://mifflin.ridgesewing.com/Jacks.htm for a further link to
information which will show a picture of what the wind farm would look like
and a request for letters/e-mails to help thwart this project.

Thanks for your help.
