Tumbleweed at Cloudbase
On different flights I have seen:
A newspaper at over a mile up. A plastic shopping bag at several thousand feet. A flight of toy balloons tied together at over 4000 ft. Tumbleweeds: many many times. Two young eagles, talons locked, tumbling down at 10,000 ft. 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. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA www.motorglider.org - Download "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation"
