Well.... yeah... a bit, but not all of them. Some are pretty close to human.... well near enough anyhow.

This was the incident that I think Martin referred to somewhere in the forum.
Four of us were flying in formation, lining up for a photo op for Jodie and coming up behind this kiter traversing our course. I guess nobody paid much attention to him because it looked like he would sail across our path and be gone when we got there.
Then he decided without any visible or audible warning (and no lookee) to suddenly do a reversee right in front of us. We were surprised by this but our skill and years of training come to the fore and we instinctively did a formation split that any aerobatics team would be proud of, missing him by inches. Meanwhile, said kiter shat himself and fell in the water in fright. Formation resumed and photo duly snapped.
