Well, no kite eating trees around here after all! Actually, today would be a great day for flying a kite here, because it’s really windy. Maybe I’ll head down to the airport…
I would laugh, but I’ve had to dodge kites (plural) while on final with a glider. And then those “not so sane” persons got angry at me when I told them off for trying to kill me!
Back in the 1980s in West Berlin a UH-1H of the US Army was brought down by a children´s kite and had to make an emergency landing in a garden. Fortunately nobody got hurt and the helicopter was repaired on site and later flown back to Tempelhof Airbase (where the US Army aviation detachment had a hangar).
HAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Did not see that coming! 😀
At least the kite flies!

Kinda saw it coming, but good comic anyway!

Techlogsigner: Amazing- I didn’t think that something that small could inflict so much damage- on a Huey?
