If the airspeed probe is blocked and reading close to zero it would certainly make more sense than pulling up relentlessly.....
Counter to AF, I read of a “dive”?!?!
I guess it could be an attempt to gain speed.

Re: And in other news from the world of flying...
You want them to fly dead in the "downwash", if I read you right, and then pick at my crazy ass theory. I must admit that tip vortices had not crossed my mind, and I still suspect that their effect is negligible at this speed, Reynolds number and whatever else, but I haven't found an equa...

Re: And in other news from the world of flying...
I always ASSumed, the trailing goose ROUGHLY centered over the upward spinning part of the wingtip vortex...free updraft lift...less flapping needed. OK. I'll pretend you're serious.... ;) Your scenario would require the vortex spiral diameter to be greater than half the wingspan of a goose (~ 1.5 ...

Re: And in other news from the world of flying...
Indeed, but why not a straight line? (and trust goose#1 to do the navigation)Flying in the wake turbulence of the next goose up reduces fuel burn.
The offset means that one wing is still encountering undisturbed air.
You'd think a slight vertical stagger would be better.

Re: And in other news from the world of flying...
Whilst human pilots are invariably witnessed heroically guiding their doomed aircraft away from potential victims on the ground, one Canada goose has heroically achieved the opposite. Revenge for Sullenberger's infamy?
