How come I don’t feel much buffeting? Kate had worked around helicopters before, and the downdraft from the Dauphins was horrendous. She wasn’t much of an expert in flight, but in a space the size of their hospital room, she should have felt a significant wind. Instead, there was only a slight breeze from the guard’s wings. You don’t feel a breeze from a duck’s wings; birds don’t work like helicopters.
