Video: Peregrine falcons can fly at more than 200 miles per hour

Yes, and champion competitive speed divers in sleek aerodynamic suits can hit 300mph+

At those speeds, aerodynamics really count.

And falcons are a LOT more aerodynamic than sleek-skinned humans. :astonished:

Really, though, no matter how it’s done, precision maneuvering at those speeds is flying. IMHO and all.
