That's just over 492 feet AGL. Here's a table:<P><img src="inline/10089-WindTurbines_Kent_sm.jpg" alt="WindTurbines-Kent-sm"><!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or &gt; missing in user HTML.

They hold a note and change the shape of the mouth to produce an overtone--two different notes at the same time! And they can vary the pitch of both notes, individually or simultaneously. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY1pcEtHI_w">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY1pcEtHI_w</a><br /><br />Also, it reminded me of an AC hum, as you get from power lines.<br /><br />It sounds weird and a bit unnerving--but, then, flying among those slow-turning blades is a bit unnerving, too. It's almost as if they're reaching out to smack you.<br /><br />The camera was set to its widest angle, about like 28 mm on a film camera (where 55 mm is 'normal'), so everything looks smaller and farther away than it actually was. Those are BIG towers and long blades!          Don Maxwell - Aug 31,2012   Viewers  | Reply     If you're curious about these wind turbines, here are the specs: <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&ved=0CDEQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.southkentwind.com%2Fproject_documents%2F09_South_Kent_Wind_Turbine_Specification_Report.pdf&ei=FWVBUPmjEIye8gS_zoGgBg&usg=AFQjCNEJaCbWnff0pep3H51TJexTvE1OFA&sig2=q9DTxCpUlywep32ao--_Hg">http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd<br>=4&cad=rja&ved=0CDEQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.southkentwind.<br>com%2Fproject_documents%2F09_South_Kent_Wind_Turbine_Specifi<br>cation_Report.pdf&ei=FWVBUPmjEIye8gS_zoGgBg&usg=AFQjCNEJaCbW<br>nff0pep3H51TJexTvE1OFA&sig2=q9DTxCpUlywep32ao--_Hg</a>          Robert Charlwood Richardson - Sep 01,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Here are 2 pics of a line of wind generators along the highest Appalachian ridge line just SE of Pittsburgh. I overflew them on the way to/from Oshkosh.       Attachments:   Line of PA Windmills         Attachments:   Top view of Gen Tower
