Osprey!
« on: April 24, 2012, 01:03:13 AM »
This video is amazing!

This guy is a WAAAAY better flyer than Chuck!  ;D

I like the last part where he catches a fish so big he can't fly out of ground effect....

As Gibbo would say, "HOLY HECTOPASCALS, BATMAN!!!"   ::knockedout::

That is an awesome video of an awesome aviating fisherman!  Makes me realize how big an amateur I am while watching it.

In the last sequence it seems as he's surfing on the fish  :)

The Osprey was only holding onto that fish with one talon, liked the bit where it shook it self dry in mid flight.

I give that landing a 9 . . . on the Richter scale.

It's moreover absurd how it has been done. The young cranes just thought that a glider was their mom, and followed "her" heading south!
