Synopsis:
Humans have had a unique relationship with raptors, nature's aerial killing machines, for more than four thousand years, first through the ancient sport of falconry, and more recently, as scientists and engineers have used these mighty birds as the inspiration for the latest in aircraft design. With the help of engineer and falconer Rob MacIntyre's ingenious miniature television station (a camera, transmitter, and battery small enough to be harnessed onto the backs of raptors), you'll see for yourself what it's like to fly with these deadly aces.
