An elderly gentleman indulging in a bit of local gliding has had a nasty experience with one very aggressive wedgetail eagle.
Wedgetail eagle smashes through glider canopy in high-altitude attack
I think he was one very lucky glider pilot, and the situation could easily have had a substantially worse outcome.
I must say I'm very surprised at the height the wedgetail was soaring at - 4500 feet. I know they get up to substantial heights - I have seen them at around 2000 feet, but not this high.
It never ceases to amaze me, how utterly fearless, big eagles are.
