Larry,
Today I drove along a road where I had a view across Salisbury Plain. I
flew low level there once and it made me think of your video. It was a
good many years ago and I was returning from one of my usual one hour to
90 minute evening flights. Usually in a big circuit. For some reason I
cut a corner and flew over an unfamiliar couple of miles of grassland.
It was well away from any building behind some army shooting butts.I
went down low, very low and was charging across this large field with
tall grasses. I was being stupid and flying with the wheels just above
the grass. Suddenly a deer leapt in the air from the tall grass, right
in front of me..It didn`t run or give me any warning, it just erupted
smack bang on the nose. I can only assume that I was so low that the
sound of the engine scared it. I have no idea how I missed it, I assume
that I automatically pulled up and skipped over the damn thing. It gave
me the fright of my life. I have had an engine quit on me a couple of
times and that is guaranteed to get your attention. This was much worse.
I shook for an hour and it cured me of being terminally stupid. For a
whole week anyway. It has often occurred to me since and I saw myself
writing to my Insurance. Dear Sir, you see, there was this deer......
Cheers
Pat

I got a bit bored today, and finely got up enough gumption to roll out
the plane. I had no where specific to go, no where to be, so I just
wandered. It worked, I was no longer bored and not only that I had a job
to do- making a short video. Its kept me busy all the rest of the day.

What are you trying to say? :-)
One year John Hauck, John Williamson, were arriving on a windy day after
a long flight from Alabama and Texas. There was a pretty nasty cross wind
and as John touched down, an Antelope Buck erupted out of the Sage right in
front of him. Hard to say which was the most frightened. On a side note, I
was able to feed them a meal from that same Buck the next year.
I once asked John W about his style of flight, and what would happen if
something went bad. His answer was- "Its going to hurt, isn't it". He
accepted the consequences, and I am willing to do the same.
