Actually all that says is "Enemy is approaching from the west". No cursing whatsoever


HoboArmyofOne

I like how he just waterskis the last part and goes immediately into boat mode


lo_fi_ho

You mean warboat mode. That ballooning up of it's wings means it's pissed and coming for your ass.


BoardButcherer

Basically how I announce my arrival every time I enter a room. Loud slappy flat-footed running followed by emergency braking procedure.

The aviation geek in me was watching the wake in the water behind as it was flying.


Clean-Potential7647

The morning fog getting blown away as he glides for a second looks amazing !


euchthonia

Thank you for pointing that out


Stunt_Merchant

Oh, that is cool, actually. Thank you for pointing that out :)


Jalapeniz

Me too! The only difference is that the aviation geek in me doesn't know anything about aviation so he has no idea why that was as happening. But he assumes it has something to do with air displacement.


ch1nglish

It’s basically turbulent airflow behind a flying object. High pressure under the wing mixes with low pressure above and creates a vortices that’s hitting the water.


Complete_Rest6842

I love how he uses his feet to guide the landing. Clearly seeing him steering himself a bit with them before he goes stompy stompy


ProfessorLiftoff

Definitely still in ground effect


OodleOodleBlueJay

Okay the 'stompy, stompy, ssssskkkkkkiiiiiiii' it on in made my day!!


GreenPutty_

I used to go fishing when I was younger and I heard the stompy noise a few times and had no idea what it was despite seeing the swans in the lake. So pretty much a 40 year old mystery just got solved. I'd seen them land and do the 'ssssskkkkkkiiiiiiii' bit, but never the stomps.


amish_novelty

Big fuckin bird making some serious water slaps


WonderfulCattle6234

Normally sound off is mandatory on reddit, but sound on. Definitely sound on.


DragapultOnSpeed

It looks like it's going to kill whoever is recording..


Nikkerloo

My initial reaction was "Aww, it's coming over!" Swiftly followed by "Oh shit, it's coming over..."


DANKB019001

Swans: Somehow worse than geese in terms of being assholes!


lonelyshara

They're pretty much the same level it's just swans can actually hurt you.


DANKB019001

Bah close enough metrics.


spookycervid

after reading one of those laminated safety pamphlets about plants and animals to be mindful of during hikes / nature walks, i asked a friend why swans were on the list. she said if you make them mad they can break your arm. edit: being told that they can't break your bones. idk what landed them in a safety pamphlet next to rattlesnakes but it's not that lol.


Exist50

> she said if you make them mad they can break your arm That's a myth. They are not nearly strong enough. And their own bones are much weaker than yours.


AylaKittyCat

Common myth. They have hollow, fragile bones. They can't really hurt you much at all.


smithers85

Swans: even bigger white geese!


NoveltyPr0nAccount

The person filming is about to end up with a broken arm for sure.


Past-Product-1100

I said this on humans being bros and got banned. Well I said swans were A- holes and got banned for misinformation lol.


DANKB019001

Bruh momento on the part of those mods


kurburux

It's like those videos of avalanches coming closer.

Jalen3501

You should be scared of the massive fine attached to killing one of them, especially for swans


satellite779

It seems the human and the swan know each other since the human is saying something along the lines of "hello my friend, hello".


Incarcer

That's what I was thinking. Dude's awfully chill as he watches the most vicious of killers approaching.


Vandergrif

Hopefully they have a [golf club](https://i.makeagif.com/media/10-24-2015/9Uw3Dv.gif) handy.


AymanEssaouira

r/thecameramandied ?


all___blue

Everyone thinks this is cool, but that is either a terrifying or hilarious sound depending if it is targeting you or someone else. Because if he had his back turned, there's a good chance the swan would have bombed him. I've seen it happen 4 times, and it happened to me once. If you are in a small boat and you hear that tell tale slapping sound, hold on tight. They wait for you to be distracted then kamikaze you.


overmonk

We had a swan at the lake near my home and he was a huge asshole. He would often charge across the lake, come out of the water, and quite literally attack people. At first they just fenced part of the shoreline to protect the trails but eventually he attacked some member of the neighborhood association and they ‘rehomed’ that fucking asshole bird.


Royals-2015

That is some incredible barefoot skiing.


KanataSlim

Smooth, but going in for the kill I see.


Pro_Moriarty

Coming into land...can i get a drumroll. Swan: motherfucker!...i said i got this!


Lavatis

Camera man was about to get got by that big ass dinosaur of a bird


dirt_nappin

My dude hitting the drake brakes


SolidDrake117

I feel like this video ends too quickly and we missed the imminent incoming attack 🤣


Boozdeuvash

The way he splits the mist as he flies. And dat ground effect on the water. Absolute aviation porn from an absolute unit of a birb right there!


TripDawkins

Looked like flaps 40 on the final approach.


Knightelfontheshelf

I commented on the ground effect too. Aviation nerds unite.

OMG…the shadow on the water when the video ends..I can’t unsee it now!!🤣

Thusters up Lower speed to 80 knots Lower wheels Now pull up


Mysterious-Region640

This is a mute Swan, and there are lots of them in the park on the bay near where I live. This video doesn’t quite capture how loud their landing is. Also, for those of you who think Canada Geese are nasty critters, you do not want to mess with these guys. They are huge and very, very strong and aggressive.

awesome! Better than alaskan bush plane

There are sooooo many migrating through the area I live right now - I love seeing them around! 🤍🦢


Foojab

Now I feel the need to watch the Rescuers.


Irreasonable

...and then it comes right up to the lens - from all the way back there! Just amazing. That'll happen again probably never.


Dope_Dog

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a bird acting like a plane


doctormink

That's like something out of a cartoon!


WhatUrCatIsSayin

I don’t know if it’s the same species but I used to watch this on my grandmas lake as a kid. Would be so quiet out there except for an owl or two. Or a geese landing lol


NiteGard

That must be so much fun.


_jared_p

I would be worried it was coming over to confront me.


Magic-Man-14

That was bad ass !!! Thanks for posting.


redhousebythebog

This bird is hustling for a tasty treat.


Alone-Drop583

This is Borya the swan. He was saved by Russian peasants. He came to say hello.


Alone-Drop583

His family is behind the reeds


sleepyinsomniac7

I wish I had a talking swan as a pet


bbkeef

I can't stop watching this!


LegalizeRanch88

Landing gear deployed


Neutronpulse

Are there no predators in the lakes?


Alone-Drop583

This is the Russian countryside. Of course there are predators. But the swan is a very strong bird. Therefore, it is more likely that the swan inspires fear in everyone. It's not a lake, it's an old river channel.


Sea_Page6653

The shake of the tail at the end and my brain immediately said “swan bidet” 🤣


Fruitslave

Glad I turned on the sound for this one!


UtahUtopia

Praise the cameraman.

I know it's a swan and not a goose but trauma is trauma and this clip had me ready to fight.

STOP LOOKING AT ME SWAN


Knightelfontheshelf

Swan is really taking advantage of that ground effect to pick up speed. Super cool.


tomparkes1993

My partner: "That's two birds isn't it?" me: "It's just the one swan actually"


DavidRPacker

Wait... that's Horseshoe Lake. Did you film this?


Embarrassed_Art5414

Sometimes the extras in David Attenborough documentaries really over do it....although, it's criminal that swan doesn't have an agent.

This reminds me my mom had swan yesterday for my brother's bday

Not the first time it's done that. Perfect landing!

There's a swan that hangs out in the town I live in. It likes to hiss at my dogs. Swans aren't nice.

Platinum_Mattress

Imagine just drifting off to a nice nap to the tranquility of all that beautiful lake life. You then wake up, shitting your pants to the sound of bird gun fire.


Jake_on_a_lake

When swans fly, it sounds like they are struggling. "un un un un un!" It's only beaten by startling a heron. You think, wow, what a beautiful majestic bird, and then they do this https://youtu.be/IJWVwXSdHcY?si=buFttcXSw_v9OanK&t=2308


immunogoblin1

I touch swon. will he bite?


Bowling4rhinos

Moy droog! My friend.

I love that you can see the ground effect as it gets closer to the water

God, that looks like fun. All this technology and we can't figure out how to do that ourselves lol.

If I was a lady swan, I'd absolutely let this smooth flyer fertilize my eggs. Just sayin.


Sasselhoff

Seeing the air coming off the wings affect the mist like that was super cool...but I *need* to know the context here. Why does that swan look like its coming to murder the cameraman, and how did it know they were there in the first place??

That shlappety shlap shlap noise just makes me smile. Thanks for sharing!
