A Chilean paraglider taught his pet hawk how to fly by taking him into he skies as he trained.   

Ariel Marinkovic holds his flight partner, a ten-month-old Harris's hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus), during his training sessions.

'Hook' is the young falcon who learnt to fly in the shadow of his owner's paraglider in the hills surrounding the Chilean capital.
