I appear to have become a minor deity. ...of flying things.

I've just been outside for a while. Everything which flies tries to pass over my head. 747s, Cessnas, helicopters, balloons, microlites. Birds who were half a mile away divert to pass over my head and then continue on their original course once done.

Now I know how Rob McKenna feels.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Sorry, that was just me. I'm trying to see which flying devices work best at annoying people. Expect a gnat up your nose in 3... 2... 1...

I thought we already had a nonsense thread going.

Switch hats. The one with concentric target circles on top is drawing the birds.

But if he switches hats we won't be able to find Waldo.
"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction
with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the
moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the
neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'"

That's not my fault. I can't promote anyone to greater deity anymore, it gets me into trouble.

Whales have a maximum altitude of 10 feet.

You needed a boat.

Byron Bay Mircolights

Microlights are not allowed in the busy HK airspace, even though they have transponders

They were probably just curious about the hair that survived the 80's.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Toulouse airport was closed for a few hours. Then some bright spark thought that it could substitute for the two Paris based airports for a while. My 2.5 year old son hasn't enjoyed himself so much in ages. I hate living under a flight path.
