Dubai World Record Eagle Flight (uncut version, the full 5 minutes flight) 

only just now ? Nothing better than a flying dream

Yes, but it also shows how the world wasn't designed for flying humans, it's all...down there...so groundbound ^^ Kinda annoying to have to land everytime you wanna do anything. We'd have to rebuild a lot of things to accomodate you and your kind ;) Like that Mall and all the space it uses up... you know how cool a vertical mall would be?

@@YeeSoest ye true

"I got eyes on the target, talons are armed....we're goin' in hot!!!!"

Man he hauled ass once he saw his man.

That bird had eyes on his trainer the second he started flying. They have REALLY good eyes.

@ابن الاسلام No idea.

Sure you can have wings, but you lose sentience. For everything there is a price.

Isaiah 40:31 would be the closest answer...

@أحمد !It's an EAGLE

Not really but you can with technology. They're called winged air packs

while our vision is poor , we can distinguish things from other, cats cant see things closer than few inches,why they have wiskers

They call that don't leave your food source

@أحمد probably a Golden Eagle.

mfeuell Yes 😂

That was a "stoop" not a dive. A stoop is a controlled descent whereas a dive is not.

me2 thought that

what's a vole lol

Excellent video. (*_*)

Afrikitty Prachtig he Liz? Knap dat die vogels hun weg zo goed weten te vinden en ook mooi om de vlucht eens vanaf de rug van de vogel mee te maken. XOXOX Jeannette

+Afrikitty Yeah this was AWESOME!

Why does he move his head so much?

+Tom Tom THIS BIRD CAN SEE VERY WIDE AND AS FAR AS I KNOW ABOUT 180 DEGREES TO CATH HIS PRAY NORMALLY IN THE WILD. IN THIS CASE HE IS SEARCHING FOR HIS TRAINER ON THE GROUND SOMEWHERE.

He would have spotted the handler on the floor almost immediately. Eagles have AMAZING eyesight and he'd have been trained using that red square from other locations. This video doesn't sync up with what the handler does, which is a shame, but if you look at other footage you can see that he begins the dive when the trainer gives him a very clear recall signal. I think it's awesome. :) I think it's also important to remember that the flight was to raise awareness of the plight of endangered eagles in the wild. Please do what you can to help, even if it's just making a donation to a reputable conservation society.

The 'thin tower' is the Burj Khalifa tower, the world's tallest building, and the one he was released from the top of to begin his flight.
