FLYING....with the birds

I don't know about you, but a friend sent this video and it transported me.  I think we've ALL wanted to soar like a bird, but WITH the birds?   take a look...it made my day;

So tell me how that thing works....it's hang gliding, I know, but how do they do it now that they don't just glide down the side of a mountain?  How can you count on winds to help you stay up or go down when you want, and up again, etc.?    It looks so marvelous...

How's it work that you can stay up there... no motor, right?  And isn't the bird part GORGEOUS...freeing?
I hope it lifts YOU up, too...it did me. (no pun intended, believe me)

"walking the dog....just a walking the dog........"

This song come to your mind, too?
chorus;
WALKING THE DOG
JUST A WALKING THE DOG
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO WALK THE DOG

yes, sorry, but I couldn't resist having a little fun here!

But, I'll tell you what; that older daughter of his is one pretty little girl.

Think this might keep birds out of airplane engines?
