"Of all the technology in fighting or enemies. A bird can whip our butts. All the enemy has to do is raise falcons and train them to attack. Sad. So sad."

These guys "push the envelope" as the phrase was intended as opposed to management b**lsh*t.

This happened this summer, sadly with 2 lives lost. Fast Fwd to 1'50'' if you're in a hurry.

That's a bit closer than the Harrier or A10 videos which have been kicking around youtube for a couple of years.

I'm sceptical about this one though - at that height the ground effect should knock any human to the ground just as it does to the camera, so presumably a second shot of the airman standing there has been superimposed.

Watch his shadow.

Sad when technology gets so sophisticated that people can no longer take things at face value so that we can no longer trust anything we see. It's not naivety on our part but having to be aware all the time that life may be a trick gets wearing. People who spend their lives getting a kick out of fooling others need to get a life! Feel better now!

A few years ago a soldier was doing this trick at South Cerney in Glos. He was standing on top of a truck and an RAF transport aircraft (C130) did a low pass. He lost his head, the tail ramp got him.

We used o have a falconer on the airfield to control the birds.

The Junior World Gliding Championships at Husbands Bosworth a couple of years back, a photographer was stood on top of a vehicle when a competitor flew his wing right through him. Sort of a Catch 22 moment for real.

No, I know from personal knowledge that this incident did occur.
