Man teaches eagle to fly... with a paraglider

Wow. A falconer who trains big birds born in captivity how to fly has used an unusual technique to get a 14-year-old eagle into the air. In this video, Jacques-Olivier Travers takes the eagle by helicopter to the top of Mont Blanc and then films the bird from his paraglider as he flies next to it. During the flight, the bird gets tired quickly because of the thin air and perches on his trainer mid-air for a much-need break. Stunning footage.
