Thanks for a very enlightening videocast. I believe the pterosaurs developed the ability to fly in their quest for food that needed them to be airborne to catch it. It must have been something that allowed them to jump from cliffs or tree to tree. Eventually, they conquered flight by developing enough skin and that expanded their food gathering ability to go for larger animals, which in turn allowed them evolve into the huge reptiles they became, as they could eat larger and larger prey. Flight was a bi-product of getting enough food. Like so many things in nature, one ability morphed into using it to increase their food gathering abilities. They were the kings of the skies and it must have been something else to see a flock of them circling overhead.
