Yeah, but he's not sitting straight in the 'cockpit' :-)

Slightly more seriously, there is a paper (which I can't find right now) reporting results obtained from tiny GPS loggers carried by Albatross. Their long-distance, non-stop foraging flights - some over 3000km - would make any OLC competitor cry. This made some wonder if there should be a special category on OLC for "non-human" aviators.
