Cool video. If you had a second plane with a side mounted camera, you could make an amateur B movie; attack of the giant birds :^D

Poor raven. He was probably hungry for a meal. RC planes are easy targets but they don't have a lot of meat.

That's cool.

I'm pretty sure I saw a similar clip, which was videoed from the ground of a bird trying to attack an RC plane. It could be the same plane and bird. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: There are quite a few examples on Youtube of birds attacking RC planes.

Are some ravens half white? Pretty interesting how persistent he was, raven or not.

He'll make a damn fine presidential candidate one day.

Both doves and traditional ravens will vote for him.

Do you have a bot that automatically posts that every time the word "black" is used in a thread?

Let me get a copy. I can use it to post "Chrono Trigger is the best game of all time... of all time!" for every thread instance of "best video game" :D

He just did an incredibly brave thing. What he SHOULD have done was land his plane. He doesn't own that plane, the taxpayers do!

I like when the bird bites the plane, it looks like the plane is dragging him along then

I guess the bird would be a lot more maneuverable than the plane. We need to get a RC F-22 up there.

Saw a link to this one. While it's not a jet, it's agile. Though if the raven did get a hold of it, the foam wouldn't last.

That's crazy.

I thought it was fake at first, since the framerate of the background looked different than the framerate on the bird, but at the end he had the stills showing the bird lifting the tail with his beak. Cool stuff.

at first i thought it was fake too and it looked like that Hitchcock movie, The Birds.

That's not a raven... ravens are pure black:

(unless it's a subspecies of some sort...)
