If you could really go avian on your next flight...



Taxi-ing for take-off takes on a whole new meaning!

Airline food is bad enough, are any of us ready to see what that bird can regurgitate?

Forget the bird, I think that would make me regurgitate mid flight!

Have the best

So that's why I had such a rough landing that time.

Hello Ornithopter ;)

And the scary thing is that someone actually made a plane like that, based on Frank Herbert's original idea in Dune.

Oh, it gets better. If you've ever read any of Thomas Easton's books, particularly Sparrowhawk, he sees a future in which mechanical planes are replaced by specially engineered birds. Airliners have become skeleton-augmented sparrows, for example, every bit as big as a 747, with the passenger pod strapped on.

But God help you if it ever shakes off the electronic controls installed in its brain and starts acting like a sparrow.

I always wondered where little Piper Cubs and Beechcraft Bonanzas came from. Now I know... they were hatched! ^_^

I know that B-52 wings flex a little, but not like that! ;)
