More on the F-16 Intercept

Produced by Glenn Pew for AVweb.com, the internet’s independent aviation news source

You might remember a while back when I interviewed Patrick McCall, who was the pilot of the PC-12 involved in this. You can listen to the interview here. Anyhow, AvWeb.Com has obtained this radar video and they have given me permission to reproduce it here. You can see by the video just how close the F-16 came to one of the GA aircraft, as well as hear the pilot’s radio transmissions concerning the event.

Newt on Oil

This is very good in my opinion, but then again hardly anything Newt says isn’t.

Video: Bald Eagle Flys into Stadiums

Check out this bald eagle. His name is Challenger and he has learned to fly into stadiums during sporting events.

According to his trainer he was blown out of his nest as a chick, raised and then re-released, only to return to humans for food. In other words, he had become imprinted.

So now Challenger travels to sporting events nationwide and thrills audiences everywhere he goes. One of the things I found fascinating is that with this bird’s large size and 6 foot wing span, he only weighs 6 pounds.

Amazing!
