Omg, are they sooo huge?

I just realised how big they are for the first time in my life. What a sight!

[edit] 172ft = 52m wingspan!

They don't really seem that big in person. And they're amazingly hard to see from any distance since they're essentially just a thin flat airfoil.

Here's a not-especially-good video I just uploaded of one flying over my farm from this summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyXSuFj0naQ

+1 to your farm's beauty. Would you be open to hosting me for a day or two there?!

I was blessed by a low flyover in Lancaster, CA back in '94 or so. It's absolutely stunning to have something that big and that quiet glide over you.

They have pretty big appetites, they eat a lot.
