What a great experience! I remember a new glider pilot trying his first solo flight at our field, a hawk tried to rip it to shreads! He quickly handed my the transmitter and I brought it down with wide, fast circles, but the hawk wouldn't let up. Another newb thought a flyby with his slimer Sig Kadet would scare him off, and he turned on it, too! It took a BVM Aggressor at 200mph to draw him away, then he left well enough alone.

On the other hand, I have flown with other hawks, packs of seagulls, and once wiht the most beautiful great white owl I have ever seen (made my Spirit 100 look small :O). It's always a special experience.
