Very cool,
I've done some looking into the art of falconry and always thought it would be cool to have a bird up close to you in freefall. I'll have to get that movie and have a look

My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Yes, what a show. Aside from the incorrect info they gave about breathing at terminal, the shots that they got were incredible.

I was waiting to see the jumper go head down to stay with the Falcon a little longer. I would have freaked out. FF with a Falcon??? Well, now we know it can be done.

I think at the end the falcon reached a terminal of 180+ mph. Think about it, the bird only weighs a few pounds at the max and to reach a terminal of 180+ is incredible!

They said the last run (not shown in the video itself), the falcon was clocked at like 242.

I realize that they made a mistake with the fact quiz, but that's no excuse to break every spelling and grammer rule in the book. My god man, I'm not suggesting learning anything, just try the spellcheck already on your computer. Otherwise, they may not give too much credit to what you had to say because they mistook you for some kind of redneck pulling their collective legs.


I am a big fan of your posts, I just wanted you to get all of your facts correct otherwise I might start questioning past posts from you.

I just finished watching it a few minutes ago, 24X was the highest speed they mentioned on the show. That's just fucking incredible.
