Can’t say a whole lot more ping.

Yeah, but could he launch a Hellfire on the bad guys?

Would need a fairly long runway I’m thinking.

Hi, I'm Pterry.
This is Pteresa and that's Pthomas up ahead.

Interesting article.

IIRC the Flintstones flew Ptrans-Pterodactyl Airlines

So, then couldn’t these huge birdosauruses have just flown from the island that Jurassic Park was on to New York? or was that some other era? When the huge leaves off the huge prehistoric trees (that had just been planted for 2 or 3 yrs. from seedlings found in amber) fell onto the scientists visiting the island, that got me off on an incredulous tangent. The rest of the movie was overshadowed by wondering about how those seeds had grown into big trees so fast. Then when the herd of ostrichosauruses were stampeding through the crowd of scientists - making no noise stamping their feet nor trampling anyone - that also made me think it was phony.

The pterosaur's wingspan and size have spawned comparisons to dragons. But recently some scientists wondered whether the creature was too big to fly.

Face it, he was. At least in our world, the heaviest creatures which can take off and land go around 25 lbs and those can barely take off or land. The biggest pterosaurs would go around 1000 lbs in our world, and would never get off the ground. In the present age of the world, birds over the sizes of albatrosses and the largest buzzards long since lost their ability to fly and their wings became vestigial.

A flock of seagulls overhead can be a smelly business...a flock of those things come over you and you would feel like you are in a whiteout...before you suffocate.

“Peerless Pterosaur Could Fly Long-Distance For Days”

That was then. This is now.

With the TSA around, it probably wouldn’t be flying at all!

I wish some Black Ops group would have a new form of UAV that would look just like one of those, psychological warfare.

Take something like that or a robotic flying dragon and unleash it upon a third rate army with superstitious beliefs and it could terrorize them substantially.

Attack them with something from their deepest fears.
