That is one seriously bad-ass bird.  No wonder it's the symbol of the USA.

AMERICA.

Ahem, we have bald eagles here. Damn good symbol though, amazing animal

I was up at 4am the other night (couldn't sleep) and there was a program about raptors/birds of pray. Now I know why the jet is named after them. Some of these birds fly CRAZY fast, and have wingspams up to 3m (that's over 9ft folks... OVER NICE FEET!). They are seriously amazing. Scary as all hell if you have kids... but awesome.

I prefer Golden Eagles myself, but that is insane lol. And I agree, one badass bird for sure carrying that thing.
