Video: What the Heck Does a Flying Fish's Glide Look Like?

Pretty sweet. Even sweeter on a sashimi plate later that night!

Very cool! That swish action of the tail fin into the water to keep aloft is phenomenal!

Yeah it looks like just as he was about to hit the drink, he made a swimming motion with the tail and body that made the wings flap. Evolution of fish to bird on display.
