Default Flying during a Solar Eclipse

For those that say "it doesn't get that dark have never been in the path of a total eclipse. I have been directly in the path, what a neat experience, all the birds were very confused and vocal. Turned dark as a dark night for a few minutes then back to normal. Personally I would rather be on the ground and enjoy the reactions of animals and people near me.
