CANBERRA, Australia - A German paraglider was encased in ice and blacked out after being sucked into a tornado-like thunderstorm in Australia and carried to a height greater than Mount Everest. She survived......

.......The 2005 World Cup winner was lifted 32,612 feet (9,940 meters) above sea level by the storm near Manilla in New South Wales.....

Those people are lucky...paragliders are very unstable as is, but with those factors, its almost unbelievable
 
As birds are agents of Satan, she had ovbiously angered the Dark Lord.

Odd how both birds, and birds biggest natural killer (besides aircraft, it seems), CATS are both agents of the Dark Lord...

Curious, where do you find, or what makes you decide what are agents of Satan?

One time under canopy I had a hawk flying in formation with me. It was awesome, except I had to turn away after about 30 seconds.

The rule is, if it will facilitate humor, then they're in league with Lucifer. Generally birds (specifically Crows and Ravens), also Jackals and Hyenae, and many arthropods.

Spy,

In slower aircraft, birds can cause massive airframe damage, and FOD engines out. I lost an engine by taking a seagull down the left intake after it hit and broke my windshield and took off my left mirror in a 60B..

IN faster aircraft, it can cause loss of the aircraft just by damaging the airframe. Can KILL aircrew if you take one thru the canpopy.

Birds SUCK!
 
so you're at 30,000 feet, and you wake up in your paraglider and you're encased in ice flying around, and you're like "damn, this sucks."
