Must See Video: Paragliding + An Amazing Hawk = ParaHawking!

 
 Paragliding is already one of the most amazing ways to fly, but combining it with a real live hawk trained to fly formation and even land on an outstretched arm is pure flying perfection... and this awesome video from about a year ago lets you and me experience that perfection in a very stunning way. Wow!

 And I recommend you pay attention the the wings of the hawk as it approaches that outstretched arm. This is variable geometry wings at their very best! It's further evidence of my belief that we'll never be able to build flying machines as impressive as those made by the Creator : )

"we'll never be able to build flying machines as impressive as those made by the Creator"

Agreed! And that video depicts what must come to about as close to perfection as we will ever witness in this lifetime. Thanks for sharing that awesome video.
