Eagle: "No difference to a seagull into the wind really. What is all the fuss about? "

Exactly.. On one of my first days of training (CCR) I noticed a bird doing a 'hover' and asked my instructor (Thanks Tim!) "how is he doing that?"...went into a LOOONG talk about aerodynamics, wind, angle of attack, ground speed AND AIR speed..among other things...very informative...
