Now for the record of the truth behind the video. The camera crew was supposed to show up at 7 am., they never showed up on time, and they called in late. I had to fly my tiercel peregrine before it got to late in the day, so I had to fly without them (which I was committed to). I had a really nice flight on a duck slip not to far from the hotel. Actually, it was a really nice duck flight, my bird skyed out.. He didn't catch a duck, but it was an impressive flight none the less. Come 10:00 the camera crew finally showed up. The guys who were going take the crew out for grouse later in the day ended up bailing on me. When asking around at the weathering yard for other long-wingers to tag a long with, not one of them would do it, nor would the dirt hawkers when they heard they were going to be on film. Luckily, an apprentice and another guy who are balloon training their brid volunteered for the job. They were both trying to take their birds off the ballon the same day, and said if no one else would do it I will step up to the plate. But, please find someone else first. They ened up having to do it. In both cases, it was the first time the birds ever stooped from a decent pitch off of the balloon and certainly the first time they killed something other than bait on the balloon. Your right, it wasn't great to see represting falconry, or a bird did a lousy stoop on a pigeon, or in a split second you saw a pigeon hindered. if you look real close, you would probably see a red balloon 1800' too. Next time, I would suggest you step up to the plate and volunteer your bird if you want to see something better. As for the two guys putting them self out there to fly their longwings on film, even though you didn't want to do it consering the circumstances, thank you for stepping up to the plate when no one else would.
