If so, where (on what continent) would the largest concentration of these operations be? Have Ultralights been utilized for aerial observation and communications in disaster relief, such as after Hurricanes like Andrew or Katrinia, when the bad wx has moved on and conditions are once again calm? Also, in regards to providing "lead" for migratory bird missions, how many such missions are operating? I've seen two, involving Canadian Geese and Whooping Cranes. Are there other, similar efforts elsewhere? Back to top Gordon L.
