Huge Bird Flying Around Somewhere Over Scotland

I wonder if she charges for the first checked bag.

No need to file anything IFR outside CAS in the UK (most airspace below FL70ish is class G).

As long as you're legal, just get up and go.

Wouldn't fancy coming across Gandalf in a light single mind

If I were a bird, I'd want to be that kind.

Wow....that must've cracked when you hit it. Check your pants!!!

Just to be clear... it wasn't me or my aircraft. The pics were posted on our forums. These pics were a lot better than the news pics.

if it flew in, it'll fly out!

Wow...it isn't often I see a picture that makes me shout out loud, but those did.

That might call for evasive maneuvers. How fast is it? If you were in something small like a Cessna.. and you pissed it off.. would it be a serious threat?
