Some might say, you haven't described what it is in the message :roll: :wink: :roll:
To embed it, use the [ youtube ] tag/fature

But, that's what I call real flying ! Where do I sign up for few hours in that thing :-)

Not so much 'strike' as 'ambitious attempt at catching lunch', by the look of it!
