cficare Member	posted 27-04-2006 08:05 Probably a little different to most...i spotted the tiger from the air! Let me explain, at the time I was testing a student pilot who was doing his Private Pilot Licence test.Anyway we were in the Fingal Valler about 4500feet above ground when I closed the throttle on the engine to simulate a engine failure. At this point the aircraft becomes a glider and remained so for the next 5-6 minutes while the student went thru his drills. We were circling (silently) above the river valley when I noticed an animal almost directly below us moving through the gorse. To be continued...have to go to work IP: Logged
cficare Member	posted 29-04-2006 08:59 Sorry about the interruption. The animal was a grey/brown colour, a little over 1.2m in length from nose to visible tail (which was carried "down" rather than extended). It was moving along a track through the gorse and appeared to be stalking..ears laidback in a crouching walk. I am sure it was not a dog or a deer. Hope this is of interest IP: Logged
