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
