Another very fun thing to do with a small low flyer in our great west is to chase coyotes across the tops of the extensive Columbia River basalt plateaus in Washington state. You see one and pull up into a wingover so as to not lose sight of them then circle around behind the now hauling ass coyote and come up from behind try to bowl them over with a tire. Big fun, I can tell you! They really can haul once they discover a mysterious noisy bird rapidly approaching from the rear. That's when I figured out where the wide-eyed Wiley Coyote concept came from. I also think that the song line, "nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide" had to have been written by someone who was a practitioner of this particular form of ridiculously entertaining recreation. I hope I'm not giving away trade secrets here!
