mikewdiggler 0 #1 October 5, 2006 Has anyone seen the advertisement for channel 5 tommorrow evening RE the peregrin falcons, base JUmpers and skydivers doing ballon jumping looks pretty interesting, apparently the falcon is going to be trying to catch up to skydivers/basejumpers holding food in thier hands to see how fast the falcon can go! HEADS UP EVERYONE LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A REALLY GOOD PROGRAM FOR ONCE!Santa Claus cum down my chimney and emptied his sack on my tree! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpoxon 0 #2 October 5, 2006 Is this Leo's documentary? Channel 5 description says: QuoteFlying With Falcons (Nature) Time - 19:30 - 20:30 (1 hour long) When - Friday 6th October on five Documentary. Falcon expert Lloyd Buck assembles a crack team of balloon pilots, skydivers and base jumpers to help him test his trained peregrines to the limit. But how do you get a peregrine to fly its fastest? The team decides they must make man the prey. Leo's website says: QuoteThe Falcon That Flew with Man The inspiration behind the memorable peregrine balloon jump in BBC's 'Ultimate Killers', is Lloyd Buck. He assembles an expert team of balloon pilots, skydivers and his peregrines to crack the question once and for all.

HEADS UP EVERYONE LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A REALLY GOOD PROGRAM FOR ONCE! I have the DVD - it is absolutely brilliant. When Leo and Andy did a 'making of' type presentation at the BPA AGM two years ago they were holding a packed out auditorium full of skydivers in the palm of their hand. So yeah, unless Channel 5 have edited the crap out of it then it will be well worth watchingDo you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Humans jumping out of baloons is not neough, Nooooo, the damn bird gets top billing! "We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."
