Three Flyers And A Falcon Attacks - The Forgotten Flights

- These are the forgotten flights of three models from the 1930-40s, after a memorable flight earlier that day, where a curious falcon came close to attacking my Earl Stahl Hurricane in July of 2021. I'd been so distracted by this amazing encounter with the falcon, that I hadn't recalled that there were other, beautiful flights from the day. The film shows these moments, via my photo archives. Filmed with a Canon SX20, iPhone 11Pro, iPhone 6s, & a Mini DVR 808 #32S Micro Camera. Music: "Calling Angels" by Jennifer DeFrayne.

Stunning, and the footage of that falcon is a nice bonus too.
Absolutely gorgeous! I followed the link from Model Aviation and am glad I did. Thank you.
Your cinematography and choice of music make your videos wonderful documents of this beautiful hobby. Thanks for your efforts Tom.
I wouldn't be surprised if the falcon footage was of interest to naturalists, I mean you don't often see a falcon, with full feathery flaps deployed and talons extended ready to strike like that, at such altitude. Magical! Three great flights - scrolling the comments I can see what a hit the Spartan Bomber is with subscribers, the word 'elegant' comes up and is fully justified. I'd like to say that onboard cameras are a hoot, because they are, but you might get followed round the sky by owls.. 🦉🦉🦉!
Lovely video as ever, thank you Tom! 🌟👍
Good idea. Thx.
Ah! Couldn't decide which one I liked best! All terrific.
your videos are beautiful! your models are to mate.
BEAUTIFUL!
Just lovely Tom.
I subscribe to quite a few channels and with most of them I find I look at the announcement for each posting and decide whether I want to watch it or not. There are just two or three channels where I know I an guaranteed to watch the whole of every episode - and your channel is definitely in that category. Every episode is a delight. Keep doing what you're doing Tom!

Thx for your most kind words, Noel. I'm glad to hear that you appreciate the channel. Cheers!
Amazing, Bird likes and very excited your Plane 👍❤
Hi Tom! More wonderful F/F goodness! Must have been exciting to see the falcon checking out the lovely Stahl Hurricane! That Monoped is just a hoot! And the gorgeous Spartan Bomber! Thanks again for sharing!
A lucky situation, with the cam onboard, facing rearward. Unthinkable. I couldn't wait to get home to see what I had.

Beautiful models...beautiful flights...fantastic videoing...thanks for sharing
So beautiful. fly...art!
Sure is easy to see why you must remember to set the dt on your models! Beautiful, really enjoyed the hawk❤
Great video as always, lovely to see the bird of prey in flight ! Cheers from 🇬🇧
This was a beautiful, relaxing end of the day for me. As always, thank you.
I continue to be impressed with the Spartan - very elegant flier, that one.
Likewise. She flies like a scale model.
Tom - the falcon whisperer
If only. I wish I could recreate it.
My planes have been followed by birds, too, seagulls and vultures. They are looking for the thermal. I worry more when dogs chase my planes.
The only thing that would have made this video even better would have been if the falcon showed up again.
👍👍👍
A falcon keeps attacking my planes as well…
Its funny to think what Mr Stahl would think if someone told him that his plane would one day be carrying a camera on its back, and be flying with a hawk!? Its also amazing to think that these guys were designing models back in the 30s, 40s and 50s, that are still winning contests today!🥸
Thx. I agree. It's fun to imagine their joy.
