I have been hoping for a flight shot like this and thought that I could only capture it in my mind. I really lucked out when the opportunity arose. In this shot, note that the falcon's head is always held in a horizontal position no matter what the angle of attack.
Here, the falcon nicknamed Digit was chasing a young falcon away from its airspace. The two kings of speed had just pulled out of a dive close together. Without slowing down, they banked sharply in a tight radius arc and came towards me like rockets.
