    Aww crap... I read the headline and thought the TRUCK deployed a rotor system and could fly.

    @Ambiguously Unfunny Serial Killer:

    Patience is the greatest of all virtues.

    Cato the Elder (234 BC - 149 BC)


    A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains.

    Dutch Proverb


    If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent.

    Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)


    There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails.

    Richard Rybolt


    Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.

    Saint Francis de Sales (1567 - 1622)

    Um...fake? While I think this really happened, I believe it to be staged. Don't ask me why it is just a hunch gang. My guess, a falconer or falconer club built a training drone to work with there real birds. I have seen rear mounted cameras on R/C planes before but everything is a little too neat and tidy to be an accident.


    Also the raptor looks to have a lanyard on its talon.
