Class of '06 Takes Off



Please be patient, the video may take a while to load.


In Adair/Russell County, KY, the handlers placed a video camera next to the pen before the aircraft arrived and pressed the record button. Chris Gullikson taxied up, turned around and gave the thumbs up sign to release the birds. Laurie and Maire opened the pen gate and flapped with them to raise their excitement level. One bird couldn't find the door and Laurie led it out while Marie encourage it from behind. To discourage any that had thoughts of turning back, Bev acted as Swamp Monster, as Joe flew overhead in the chase position.
