  • thats a beautiful place

  • Human: that albatross looks just like a plane!

    Bird: that giant piece of metal looks like an albatross!

  • big bird

  • LOL..My uncle used to talk about these birds. He said in Vietnam they used to sit and laugh how clumsy they took off and landed!! Called them Goonie birds or something...

  • Audioswap in "80 knots. V1. Rotate. V2. Positive rate, gear up. Flaps up. Climb and maintain 3,000"

  • I love that pitter-patter sound :P

  • The conditions do really need be perfect from them to take off. Albatrosses are very heavy and the wings are made for soaring in the air, not lifting through flapping. That's why they actually need the takeoff run (or wind), and same goes for their landings :)

  • lol the third one was acting like he needed the conditions to be just perfect for him to takeoff lol..acted a bit shy too.

  • So funny! I love it!

  • i really want to go to all these little islands, how would i get there?..No commercial plane fly there correct? you need your own.
