It could be an unladen European spy swallow masquerading as an unladen European civilian swallow. As all good spy swallows should.

Not that I know that from experience or anything.

Even if it were an unladen European spy swallow masquerading as an unladen European civilian swallow, it would still be an unladen European spy swallow.

but wouldn't you also travel at the correct speed and velocity for that which you are masquerading as? An unladen european civilian swallow. And thus there should be no difference in air speed velocity and if there was the unladen european spy swallow would surely be caught and have no need for flight anyway...

(caught spy swallows generally loose their wings I've heard.)

Which is exactly my point! The air speed of an unladen european spy swallow - masquerading or not - is -9.8 meters per second squared! ^^
