This spot that we found, it's perfect!
It's just perfect.

1:05:06
- But we don't have that long.
- Can you land there?

1:05:09
- Perfectly.
- Okay.

1:05:10
Good, flat surface right near.
1:05:12
- Stop moving back. I'm pushing.
- I felt that.

1:05:16
Squeeze it down a little bit.
1:05:18
Not so it hurts.
Well, it'll move back and forth.

1:05:22
Let's see how it looks.
Get your finger out of your nose.

1:05:29
Nice move, Tom. Very good.
1:05:32
The journey will take
four days of good weather.

1:05:35
Thirty nautical miles
to Lake Ontario.

1:05:37
Then 30 more across the lake
to the U.S. of A.

1:05:40
Now 65 miles further on
is rendezvous number one...

1:05:43
... at a farm outside
Franklinville, NY.

1:05:46
Day two, we're going to Pennsylvania.
1:05:48
Across the Appalachian Mountains,
120 miles to rendezvous number two.

1:05:53
On day three, we fly over Maryland,
east of Baltimore.

1:05:56
Then south across the Potomac
to the lowlands of Virginia.

1:05:59
On day four, we go along Chesapeake
Bay to the town of New Hope.

1:06:03
From there, it's just
10 miles to Valhalla.

1:06:06
- How are they doing?
- They're panting hard after 20 miles.

1:06:10
I really don't think
they can go 150 miles a day.

1:06:13
They've got it in there somewhere.
Wild ones can fly 1000 miles.

1:06:16
- They're thinner afterwards but...
- We gotta go earlier than that.

1:06:20
Two day's weather cushion isn't enough.
I say we leave by the 22nd.

1:06:25
Good idea. Barry and I will get
the camping equipment Wednesday.

1:06:29
We got a lead on a boat.
1:06:30
- The GPS and radios are due tomorrow.
- October the 22nd.

1:06:34
- Yes!
- 22nd!

1:06:48
We have one week
to whip them into shape.

1:06:50
We've gotta push them to the limit.
1:06:53
Wild geese average five,
six flight hours a day.

1:06:56
That means we've got to get ours
up to four. Then we'll be okay.
