What say we go watch them try it? If they fail, there will be a win-win conclusion to this aerodynamic conversation.
I would recommend we put the folding chairs, sunshade, and cooler on a rise about a mile away. A Stinger set up might also be appropriate. But let's go with quail-hunting rules: no shooting until they actually clear the ground.
Sounds good to me. But a Stinger would be overkill. Let's rustle up an ol' SA-7 Strella or two to make it interesting.
