OWL ON FINAL APPROACH




Quite the bird!!



This is slow motion (1000 frames per second) so when you start it, you'll think it isn't working yet, but it is.!!

Talk about power. It is spectacular.

Best example of a variable geometry wing I've ever seen....... Are those leading edge feathers pop-up vortex generators at high alpha?

Fantastic! Amazing to see how all those small adjustments to the wings and all through the head is absolutely still and focussed on the target! Brilliant video, cheers.
