The
chicks that will fly with the ultralights take their first
flight in a small private airplane! The chick is inside the
box.
The
chicks are too little to fly when they are sent from their
hatching place in Maryland to Wisconsin for Flight
School.
That's an important part of the plan. They must get to Wisconsin
BEFORE they start learning to fly. Then they will be more willing
to follow the ultralight.
They
are trained to follow the ultralight from a few days of age.
They won't be able to fly until 60-70
days of age. By then, they have been following their ultralight
leader for many weeks!
