Thanks for your positive comments :) the bird is a Falcon, which is the national bird of the UAE. It's a beauty isn't it? *Nic

Awesome!

The plane should've started the same time the car did because it's top speed would've been that of or more than the car and it would catch up

Why did the plane get a head start? Not fair.
