Jumpervint 0 #1 August 19, 2003 The latest issue of National Geographic has a one page photo with text about measuring the dive speed of peregrine falcons. It shows Leo Dickinson with a birdman suit on and a falcon at his finger tips taking bait used to get the falcon to follow. ""I was falling like a proverbial stone," says skdiver Leo Dickinson, "but sometimes it feels like our trained pergrine falcons don't play by the same rules of gravity"". Jumping with birds.... Vint. . . . . "Make it hard again."

bobsled92 0 #3 August 19, 2003 Is that from the "Willing to Fly" Project? I believe the association of Nat. Geo & IMAX has a very wonderful presentation/IMAX planned to be shown. I can't wait to get the Nat. Geo. Issue now.
