Are you hurt? 389 00:55:55,826 --> 00:55:58,994 I don't think so. 390 00:56:00,956 --> 00:56:04,041 You're crying. 391 00:56:04,126 --> 00:56:07,963 Yeah, I thought you were... 392 00:56:31,235 --> 00:56:34,822 Suppose I built another aircraft. 393 00:56:35,072 --> 00:56:39,244 And then taught Amy how to fly it. 394 00:56:40,702 --> 00:56:42,246 What? 395 00:56:42,496 --> 00:56:47,335 Look, the birds will fly with her, she'll fly with me. 396 00:56:47,585 --> 00:56:49,045 I could lead them all south. 397 00:56:49,295 --> 00:56:52,590 You're joking, right? 398 00:56:53,465 --> 00:56:57,469 She nearly broke her neck yesterday. This is a joke, right? 399 00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,681 No, it's not. 400 00:56:59,931 --> 00:57:02,891 It's a great idea. We can make it work. 401 00:57:03,141 --> 00:57:06,521 The birds follow me, I follow you. We all go south. 402 00:57:06,771 --> 00:57:08,898 It's brilliant. 403 00:57:09,148 --> 00:57:11,483 I knew you could think of something. 404 00:57:11,733 --> 00:57:16,364 It's the most stupid, irresponsible, harebrained scheme I've ever heard... 405 00:57:16,614 --> 00:57:20,451 It's the only way they'll fly with her. That's the way it works. 406 00:57:20,701 --> 00:57:22,202 What is wrong with you? 407 00:57:22,452 --> 00:57:26,081 - I thought you liked the geese. - I do like the geese! 408 00:57:26,331 --> 00:57:30,210 It's a lot more dangerous for her to drive on the expressway. 409 00:57:30,460 --> 00:57:33,255 It's the safest ultralight out there. 410 00:57:33,505 --> 00:57:36,300 - It has to be safe as possible. - But it's pricey. 411 00:57:36,550 --> 00:57:41,012 I don't care about that. It has to be simple to fly and gentle to put down. 412 00:57:41,264 --> 00:57:44,934 Well, yeah, it'll fly at 28, 29 miles an hour. 413 00:57:45,184 --> 00:57:49,146 - Really? - Or even climb at that. 414 00:57:57,405 --> 00:58:00,574 There you go, fellas. Enjoy it. 415 00:58:00,824 --> 00:58:04,494 Thank you very much. Take it easy. 416 00:58:18,467 --> 00:58:20,927 Turn to the right. Lean.

That's it. 418 00:58:26,766 --> 00:58:30,019 Remember, you've got 34 feet of wing tip up here. 419 00:58:30,269 --> 00:58:32,815 It's kind of like having real wide hips. 420 00:58:33,065 --> 00:58:35,900 All right, let's make a hard right. Hard right. 421 00:58:36,150 --> 00:58:38,653 Good leans, like you're flying. Good girl. 422 00:58:38,903 --> 00:58:43,157 Keep the bar pushed down.

You got it! 434 00:59:43,967 --> 00:59:46,679 I've been around a lot of flyers in my time. 435 00:59:46,929 --> 00:59:49,807 - I think you're a natural. - Do you really think so? 436 00:59:50,057 --> 00:59:53,603 Some people are, when it comes to flying. You're one of them. 437 00:59:53,853 --> 00:59:56,523 The wind is coming from right straight at us. 438 00:59:56,773 --> 01:00:00,150 So it'll go right under the plane. It's gonna be perfect. 439 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,195 - The plane's gonna be a lot lighter. - I know, Dad. 440 01:00:03,445 --> 01:00:05,572 Your takeoff roll will be shorter. 441 01:00:05,822 --> 01:00:10,911 You'll climb real fast. But still, do the smooth push-out with the bar. 442 01:00:11,161 --> 01:00:15,333 Now, I'm coming up right behind you. Just make passes around the field. 443 01:00:15,583 --> 01:00:18,418 If your engine cuts out, glide down onto the field. 444 01:00:18,668 --> 01:00:20,797 Don't go anywhere except the field. 445 01:00:21,047 --> 01:00:25,050 - Yeah, I know. - You're gonna do good. 446 01:00:25,259 --> 01:00:28,096 Lift prop. 447 01:01:31,992 --> 01:01:34,536 Mama Goose, come in.

Go! 486 01:05:25,389 --> 01:05:29,894 I just think that we need to have very clear notions... 487 01:05:30,144 --> 01:05:34,858 ...of when we're going to fly in the day, when we're gonna land. 488 01:05:35,108 --> 01:05:40,195 How long you're gonna lay over. And then where you're gonna end up. 489 01:05:40,447 --> 01:05:44,784 - That's the most important thing. - Do me a favour. Get me some maps. 490 01:05:45,034 --> 01:05:46,786 Just, like, go down... 491 01:05:47,036 --> 01:05:49,789 Just go like: Here's us, here's Florida. 492 01:05:50,039 --> 01:05:52,208 I'll look at the map and pick the route. 493 01:05:52,458 --> 01:05:56,588 I'm gonna make a call because I know this guy. 494 01:05:56,838 --> 01:05:59,047 A bird guy... 495 01:05:59,298 --> 01:06:01,842 ...in North Carolina. You're kidding. 496 01:06:02,092 --> 01:06:07,431 He knows, like, migratory paths and... We called him Birdbrain. 497 01:06:07,681 --> 01:06:10,976 Yes, but this idea of using aeroplanes... 498 01:06:11,226 --> 01:06:14,521 ...to reintroduce migratory flocks. It's... 499 01:06:14,771 --> 01:06:17,608 Look, I'm sorry. It's absolute nonsense. 500 01:06:17,858 --> 01:06:21,403 Can you imagine thousands of little tiny aeroplanes... 501 01:06:21,653 --> 01:06:24,032 ...buzzing suburbia at 4 a.m. ... 502 01:06:24,282 --> 01:06:26,992 ...showing the birds the way south? 503 01:06:27,242 --> 01:06:29,911 The birds wouldn't follow a plane. 504 01:06:30,163 --> 01:06:33,498 But they do. I've seen them do it. 505 01:06:33,750 --> 01:06:35,918 It really works, if it's done right. 506 01:06:36,168 --> 01:06:39,963 And if geese can do this then maybe really rare birds... 507 01:06:40,213 --> 01:06:44,552 ...like whooping cranes and trumpeter swans can learn it too. 508 01:06:44,802 --> 01:06:46,887 We can start new flocks... 509 01:06:47,137 --> 01:06:51,474 ...and give them a crack at a comeback, you know? 510 01:06:56,646 --> 01:06:59,065 Do you really think you can pull this off? 511 01:06:59,317 --> 01:07:02,485 Yes, sir. All we really needed was a place like this. 512 01:07:02,737 --> 01:07:06,865 Well, of course, there is a catch. It's right over there. 513 01:07:07,115 --> 01:07:12,036 These 300 acres are all that's left of what used to be thousands. 514 01:07:12,288 --> 01:07:15,958 In the '30s, the government set this aside as a wild bird refuge. 515 01:07:16,208 --> 01:07:20,295 But with fewer birds wintering here, it's been encroached on. 516 01:07:20,545 --> 01:07:22,797 Some people have made a lot of money. 517 01:07:23,047 --> 01:07:26,010 If no wild birds show up by November 1st... 518 01:07:26,260 --> 01:07:28,762 ...these chaps are just itching to take over. 519 01:07:29,012 --> 01:07:31,639 November 1st? Really? 520 01:07:31,889 --> 01:07:34,309 So if we're here by then, it's ours? 521 01:07:34,559 --> 01:07:35,978 No, not actually yours. 522 01:07:36,228 --> 01:07:39,023 - The birds'. - Right. 523 01:07:39,856 --> 01:07:42,985 It's perfect! 524 01:07:44,235 --> 01:07:48,699 I sure hope you're right. I don't want to find out I'm in trouble... 525 01:07:48,949 --> 01:07:52,911 This spot that we found, it's perfect! It's just perfect. 526 01:07:53,161 --> 01:07:55,956 - But we don't have that long. - Can you land there? 527 01:07:56,206 --> 01:07:57,416 - Perfectly. - Okay. 528 01:07:57,666 --> 01:07:59,333 Good, flat surface right near. 529 01:07:59,585 --> 01:08:03,380 - Stop moving back. I'm pushing. - I felt that. 530 01:08:03,630 --> 01:08:05,465 Squeeze it down a little bit. 531 01:08:05,715 --> 01:08:09,469 Not so it hurts. Well, it'll move back and forth. 532 01:08:09,719 --> 01:08:14,641 Let's see how it looks. Get your finger out of your nose. 533 01:08:17,060 --> 01:08:20,021 Nice move, Tom. Very good. 534 01:08:20,271 --> 01:08:23,108 The journey will take four days of good weather. 535 01:08:23,358 --> 01:08:25,444 Thirty nautical miles to Lake Ontario. 536 01:08:25,694 --> 01:08:28,488 Then 30 more across the lake to the U.S. of A. 537 01:08:28,738 --> 01:08:31,449 Now 65 miles further on is rendezvous number one... 538 01:08:31,699 --> 01:08:34,243 ... at a farm outside Franklinville, NY. 539 01:08:34,493 --> 01:08:36,704 Day two, we're going to Pennsylvania. 540 01:08:36,954 --> 01:08:41,542 Across the Appalachian Mountains, 120 miles to rendezvous number two. 541 01:08:41,792 --> 01:08:44,837 On day three, we fly over Maryland, east of Baltimore. 542 01:08:45,087 --> 01:08:48,425 Then south across the Potomac to the lowlands of Virginia. 543 01:08:48,675 --> 01:08:52,679 On day four, we go along Chesapeake Bay to the town of New Hope. 544 01:08:52,929 --> 01:08:55,431 From there, it's just 10 miles to Valhalla. 545 01:08:55,681 --> 01:08:59,269 - How are they doing? - They're panting hard after 20 miles. 546 01:08:59,519 --> 01:09:02,439 I really don't think they can go 150 miles a day. 547 01:09:02,689 --> 01:09:06,275 They've got it in there somewhere. Wild ones can fly 1000 miles. 548 01:09:06,525 --> 01:09:10,697 - They're thinner afterward but... - We gotta go earlier than that. 549 01:09:10,947 --> 01:09:14,993 Two day's weather cushion isn't enough. I say we leave by the 22nd. 550 01:09:15,243 --> 01:09:19,079 Good idea. Barry and I will get the camping equipment Wednesday. 551 01:09:19,329 --> 01:09:20,707 We got a lead on a boat. 552 01:09:20,957 --> 01:09:24,627 - The GPS and radios are due tomorrow. - October the 22nd. 553 01:09:24,877 --> 01:09:28,338 - Yes! - 22nd! 554 01:09:39,141 --> 01:09:41,810 We have one week to whip them into shape. 555 01:09:42,060 --> 01:09:44,188 We've gotta push them to the limit. 556 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,315 Wild geese average five, six flight hours a day. 557 01:09:47,567 --> 01:09:51,404 That means we've got to get ours up to four. Then we'll be okay. 558 01:09:51,654 --> 01:09:54,532 You've gotta be the leader, and be tough on them. 559 01:09:54,782 --> 01:10:00,203 We can't let up. The wild ones are already heading south. 560 01:10:05,417 --> 01:10:08,378 -Mama Goose, come in. -Hello, base. 561 01:10:08,628 --> 01:10:11,006 You've got one very unhappy bird down here. 562 01:10:11,256 --> 01:10:13,967 Igor! 563 01:10:14,176 --> 01:10:16,720 Goose Ground, put your radio next to him. 564 01:10:16,970 --> 01:10:19,097 Mama Goose, go ahead, we're ready. 565 01:10:19,347 --> 01:10:25,354 Igor!
