The U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program (NMMP) is a program administered by the U.S. Navy which studies the military use of marine mammals - principally bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions - and trains animals to perform tasks such as ship and harbor protection, mine detection and clearance, and equipment recovery.
The speed of motion in air is faster than in water because of drag force. The drag force is proportional to density of the fluid. The animal jumping out of water will feel almost no drag, since the air density is 1,000 times less than water density. Usually animals gain thrust for the jumping as how they lift themselves underwater.
The survey used an infra-red camera mounted on an airplane flying at 1000 feet. [9] The $19,000 cost also included coverage at 12 parks on Staten Island. [9] The survey revealed 18 deer in the Bronx, split equally between Pelham Bay and Van Cortlandt Parks, and 763 on Staten Island. [10]

Three Canadair CL-215 amphibious flying boats. The following is a list of seaplanes, which includes floatplanes and flying boats. A seaplane is any airplane that has the capability of landing and taking off from water, while an amphibian is a seaplane which can also operate from land.
The plane was flying without any communication with the tower. It then ran out of fuel and crashed near Grammatiko. All 121 people on board were killed. Turkish Airlines Flight 1476 (3 October 2006) - A Boeing 737-4Y0 operated by Turkish Airlines is hijacked. Everyone survives without injuries.
The "water bird" emergency landing is a technique developed by the Canadian Forces to safely land the Sikorsky CH-124 Sea King helicopter if one engine fails while flying over water. The emergency landing technique allows the boat-hull equipped aircraft to land on the water in a controlled fashion.
In this photo provided by Brian Emmenis, people look inside a plane at the Welkom Airport, in Welkom, South Africa, as they search for a venomous snake that the pilot found hiding under his seat ...
