There's the one shot in that one about half way where you can see how the turbulent airflow moves up and out on the wings with the ruffling of feathers, as his AoA increases. Neat stuff.

Does anyone have any files or links of good wind tunnel footage? This used to be an integral part of any principles of flight classes but I haven't seen any in a long time. I'm talking about proper wind tunnels with marked smoke going over different airfoils at increasing angles of attack.

Great vid SSU, I especially love the part how the landing gear comes down in 2 stages, gear down then talons extend just before touchdown. Awesome!
