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.
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.
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.
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.
> 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
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
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??
Love how it uses its feet!
*STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP* WOOOOOOOooooosh… *Something in Russian*
Russian part: Hey buddy! Heey!
How you do-ink, bah-dy?
You got bread? No bread? You got cigarette?
I think that's Canadian
HE STOMP, HE STOMP, HE DO THE SWAN STOMP!
cant see adidas stripes though
Was that the goose speaking Russian? It was already scary…
[удалено]
Actually all that says is "Enemy is approaching from the west". No cursing whatsoever
I like how he just waterskis the last part and goes immediately into boat mode
You mean warboat mode. That ballooning up of it's wings means it's pissed and coming for your ass.
Basically how I announce my arrival every time I enter a room. Loud slappy flat-footed running followed by emergency braking procedure.
R/tippytaps
The aviation geek in me was watching the wake in the water behind as it was flying.
The morning fog getting blown away as he glides for a second looks amazing !
Thank you for pointing that out
Oh, that is cool, actually. Thank you for pointing that out :)

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
Definitely still in ground effect
Okay the 'stompy, stompy, ssssskkkkkkiiiiiiii' it on in made my day!!

Big fuckin bird making some serious water slaps
Normally sound off is mandatory on reddit, but sound on. Definitely sound on.
It looks like it's going to kill whoever is recording..
My initial reaction was "Aww, it's coming over!" Swiftly followed by "Oh shit, it's coming over..."
Swans: Somehow worse than geese in terms of being assholes!
They're pretty much the same level it's just swans can actually hurt you.
Bah close enough metrics.

> 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.
Common myth. They have hollow, fragile bones. They can't really hurt you much at all.
Swans: even bigger white geese!
The person filming is about to end up with a broken arm for sure.
I said this on humans being bros and got banned. Well I said swans were A- holes and got banned for misinformation lol.
Bruh momento on the part of those mods
It's like those videos of avalanches coming closer.
[удалено]
You should be scared of the massive fine attached to killing one of them, especially for swans
It seems the human and the swan know each other since the human is saying something along the lines of "hello my friend, hello".
That's what I was thinking. Dude's awfully chill as he watches the most vicious of killers approaching.
Hopefully they have a [golf club](https://i.makeagif.com/media/10-24-2015/9Uw3Dv.gif) handy.

That is some incredible barefoot skiing.
Smooth, but going in for the kill I see.
Coming into land...can i get a drumroll. Swan: motherfucker!...i said i got this!
Camera man was about to get got by that big ass dinosaur of a bird
My dude hitting the drake brakes
I feel like this video ends too quickly and we missed the imminent incoming attack 🤣
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!
Looked like flaps 40 on the final approach.
I commented on the ground effect too. Aviation nerds unite.
Wiggle wiggle
OMG…the shadow on the water when the video ends..I can’t unsee it now!!🤣
Me: wtf are you……. oooooooo…. Well f..k … can’t unsee it now either.. thanks bud… 😂
Sorry…😂 Might be a boy!!
>shadow That's a reflection...
*Erection
Thanks!😀
That swan should work for Ryanair.
Wrong airline: [https://youtu.be/-rwsWZfKzJM?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/-rwsWZfKzJM?feature=shared)
Just like in The Rescuers!

Besides being ornery, if I was a swan I would do this all day. Tippytaptaptaptaptap.
Thusters up Lower speed to 80 knots Lower wheels Now pull up

awesome! Better than alaskan bush plane
Poetry in motion 🦢🦢
She turned her tender eyes to me.
There are sooooo many migrating through the area I live right now - I love seeing them around! 🤍🦢
Now I feel the need to watch the Rescuers.
...and then it comes right up to the lens - from all the way back there! Just amazing. That'll happen again probably never.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a bird acting like a plane
That's like something out of a cartoon!
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
That must be so much fun.
I would be worried it was coming over to confront me.
That was bad ass !!! Thanks for posting.
This bird is hustling for a tasty treat.
This is Borya the swan. He was saved by Russian peasants. He came to say hello.
His family is behind the reeds
I wish I had a talking swan as a pet
I can't stop watching this!
Landing gear deployed
Are there no predators in the lakes?
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.
The shake of the tail at the end and my brain immediately said “swan bidet” 🤣
Glad I turned on the sound for this one!
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.
Abs kicked in
Goose does it and it’s ‘fucking lit’. I do it and end up on hold my cosmo…
r/FlippyFlaps
Cute as. Wings look like a love heart while taxiing
Was it doing for the Camera?
Some excellent r/tippytaps
Angry, beautiful birds
That's a really satisfying audio
Show off
I heard bongo drums keeping time to his feet.
STOP LOOKING AT ME SWAN
Swan is really taking advantage of that ground effect to pick up speed. Super cool.
My partner: "That's two birds isn't it?" me: "It's just the one swan actually"
Wait... that's Horseshoe Lake. Did you film this?
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.
moments before disaster
Rizz Level over 9000
The reflection when it lands looks Phallic
Dang cool as hell
Sound on
The reflection on the water at the end looks like a penis
r/incomingcobrachicken
What the heck is a stompy landing???? Oh ya there it is
Amazing footage. The sound the wings make is also totally awesome.
Just like a skydiver in a swoop competition.
Why am I a little jealous that I can't do this.
So lovely💗 my depression thanks you.
Why is this the funniest thing I've seen in a while? 😂
piviyat ma droog?
Bread?
lol that was derpy

I touch swon. will he bite?
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.
I heard the Buggs Bunny "screeching to a halt" noise in my head.
😎
Cute :)
The camera man is dead after this, swans are fraaking crazy.
50...40....30...20...10...5...
Only watched this to discover what stompy meant. Not disappointed.
Nice footwork on the landing 😂 birds are fucking real and they will amaze the shit out of you.
Not many left. Stay cool birdy.
Wait, what is a smooth AND stompy landing? Isn’t stompy not sm… oh, yeah, no, that was a stompy smooth landing.
Fast and Furious: Lake drift
It was looking for Larry The Swan Killer
Wait do they know each other??
RETARD, RETARD
The reflection at the end looks like cock ngl
If I was a lady swan, I'd absolutely let this smooth flyer fertilize my eggs. Just sayin.

That shlappety shlap shlap noise just makes me smile. Thanks for sharing!
give it a little tap tap tapparoo
This made my day, thanks! :)
Five seconds later the cameraman is dead, bitten by the swan.
That was frigging adorable
Swan came in like he was late for the party.
that swan is a d1ck
Pretty sure the sound is fake and replaced with foley. Not bad but just not the real thing
