From the leader back, each goose lowers the air resistance for the one following. You’d think Verne would have looked it up, and RJ would call it “breaking wind.”
This reminds me of a “Mother Goose and Grimm” comic strip where Grimm and Attila had the same conversation, with Attila asking that question, while Grimm answers “Maybe G’s are too hard”.

You might see an X formation when two different flocks are about to collide.

I can’t believe no one else has yet remarked that “weird” is misspelled … but then, they are geese.
