For a bird that can’t fly, wow!

And remember to act like a silly goose.

Unless it is done well, the honk may be what gives them away.

I guess, given the time of year, that arrow points south. Kinda wish we could follow it.

That is precisely why geese fly in formation. Even with aircraft, the wingmen get more fuel efficiency than lead.

LOL! too funny!

Turtles follow NASCAR? Who’d a thunk it. Cool beans! God Bless You, Dick Trickle, wherever you are!

I draft behind trucks when I drive cross country, For one thing, nobody is going to cut in front of you just to get behind a truck.

I could probably get fantastic mileage if I put my nose on the rear bumper, but I hang back at about two seconds which is safe enough and I do make sure to weave out a bit to make sure the driver knows I’m still there.

It’s worth about 2.5 mpg more and I find “flying formation” easier than constantly monitoring my own speed. And … if the truck is speeding, it’s shielding you from police radars.

“Hey who’s the new goose in the back? "

With your luck they’ll hear the honk, see a turtle and pull over to let you pass. You’ll have honky tailgaters all the way to Miami.

The birds switch off who flies at the apex of the V. How are these guys gonna do when the time comes? That would make a good strip.

“Can’t honk, just beep”…

For those who missed the ‘DRAFT’ a race car driver could explain. There should also be some help from the wing vortex of the bird ahead of them. Geese take turns breaking trail for the Vee.

Must be a forerunner of the European Swallow!

Every time I fly, I always get the seat next to the honking goose.

I’m an optimist, I see the turtle as half full

Well, turtles made it to lots of lakes somehow.
