Awesome! That boid knows how to fly! Nice job with the camera too.
What is amazing is watching the minute and constant corrections he makes
to hold formation and dive rate.

Thanks!

I think he was trash-talkin'. The Gyr is bigger but not as fast or maneuverable.

Norm Kent is still around?

I remember an early '90s parachutist mag had a sweet cover shot of a falcon swooping on a freefaller
