Best thing in flight I ever saw was an two Ospreys and an American Eagle. I was on a golf course in Florida and I watched a Osprey dive into the water and pull a big fish out. He/she had a wing man and they flew off. The Eagle enter the picture like a fighter jet. The wing man tried to knock the Eagle off course but it made it under the Osprey with the fish and flipped upside down. The Eagle flipped upside down swiped at the fish with its talons and the Osprey moved just in time and the Eagle missed. The two Osprey flew away and the Eagle returned in the direction it came. It was pretty cool to see.

In 1953 my brother(Crew Chief, F86) was stationed at Greenville (AFB) when a pilot tried the same stunt, at night. It did not work.
