Do Birds Dream of Los Angeles?

Cessna Skyhawk 173, the most popular single-engine aircraft ever built, can gain a maximum altitude of about 15,000ft. For this, a fairly short – one-hour flight – we reached just under 5,000ft.

For most of the year, birds stay under 500 feet. During migration, many species fly at up to 5,000ft or higher, using utilizing winds to assist them.

I surely felt like a happy migrating bird!
