Inspirational, absolutely! When I used to paraglide there were always a pair of hawks hanging out in my favourite site's "house thermal". Whenever I saw them as I pulled up in the car I knew it was going to be a great launch. All three of us shared that thermal on a regular basis, sometimes I could almost reach out and touch them. God I'm in love with raptors. To stay on topic I should mention that I fly a BUSA Enforcer and the Delta Vortex, love them, too.

Bird wings are marvelous things... My buddy Notchwing would come over and harass me when I was out walking in the desert.
Lots of span, closed tail for the approach, closed wings and wide tail for the attack.. He had a lot of fun doing that!
