Default Alaska Soaring

The thought of hungary Bears and Wolves wandering about
below must be a wonderful incentive to keep airborne!
Alaskan glider pilots must be truly superb if Darwin's
Theory of Evolution holds true. All those glider pilots
who don't stay up get eaten. Those left behind must
be good.

A friend of mine was telling me of soaring in company with a
vulture.

My friend sussed that the bird was young and inexperienced.
He gradually slowed up until the bird lost control and sun out of the
thermal.

I am not sure I believe him.

I have flown with the Eagles here. Occasionaly the young "teen-age"
Eagles will attempt to push you down the food chain. The older Bald
Eagles seem to share thermals fine. If I see one cruising I usually
turn opposite and find the thermal he just left. His left-over lift is
quite reliable for me to get another climb.
