65 WINTER 2025 | June-July-August SKY SAILOR damage requiring manufacturer repair. With minimal manoeuvring, they were able to glide to a safe landing. The risk of attack from wedgies is very real for us – we play in their living and dining rooms. Tactics to deal with our aggressive feathered friends are various and comments from raptor experts indicate that many are probably provocative to them. The best bet would be to fly away from them as quickly as possible and lose altitude. If they do cause damage, ensure you can safely continue, or make a safe landing. This is the second instance of aggressive wedgies near this location that we have become aware of; recently a visiting pilot from the UK documented his experience in a Youtube video . That’s it for this issue folks. Fly safe.
