Condor
Covert operation moniker
A condor is a very large vulture of the Americas, among the largest flying birds in the world.
The Andean condor soars over South American mountains; the California condor, nearly extinct by the 1980s, has been the subject of intensive conservation efforts.
Condor suggests immense wingspan and effortless gliding flight.
