Flying With Geese

Featured Video Play Icon

Some people fly with geese to train them for wind tunnel tests, and some people fly with them to teach them safer migratory paths. Today’s video focuses on the latter, specifically conservationist Christian Moullec, who has spent decades living and flying with lesser white-fronted geese as part of an effort to save the threatened species. He flies with them using an ultralight aircraft, exercising daily to prepare for the cross-continental migration. To help fund the effort, he offers passengers a spot on his short flights, letting people fly with the birds! (Image and video credit: T. Scott; via Colossal)
