minus-square@ThePyroPythonlinkEnglish20•1 year agoOk buddy, let’s see you pull out of a terminal velocity (180mph) head first dive. As any pilot will tell you; if you manage to pull out of a dive it’s not falling out of the sky, it’s aerobatics. Ontop of this, it’s catching prey in it’s talons, let’s see you try and grab anything when traveling at 180mph in any direction.
