He got passed several layers of security. Why?

[P.O.E.]

“A man”

Thanks for the details, AP. /s

He must not play golf: below par is good....

[moovova]

Given a ticket for demonstrating without a permit.

$12 fine.

In golf parlance, “well below par” is a good thing, yes?

This clown couldn’t even get his insult right.

No catalytic converters on that powered paraglider!
Off with his head polluting scoundrel!

Well below par. lol

Maybe the SS read the banner and decided it was safe to assume the guy is either not too bright or is a stealth supporter. lol

I was going to post this but I'll just piggyback.

A no-fly zone had been enforced over the while Mr Trump was in residence.

At the time, Detective Inspector Stephen McCulloch said: “We are investigating a breach of the air exclusion zone over Turnberry Hotel, which is a criminal offence.

Greenpeace said they told Police Scotland about their intentions beforehand, as well as informing air traffic control at nearby Prestwick Airport.

Does it seem strange to anyone else that the media insist on calling this guy’s aircraft a “paraglider”? Can’t any of them call it by its correct name, a “paramotor” or at least “powered paraglider”?

I have used a paraglider on a couple of occasions but have never purchased one and definitely prefer to fly in one of our hang gliders or our ultralight airplane. I have to admit that these days I prefer to just fly around in our Piper Cherokee.

A friend of mine had a paramotor with a trike that he could take passengers in. He was actually a dealer for a while. The funny thing is that it had a top speed of just over 15mph, so several times the winds aloft were higher than that when he went flying so he could not make it back to the location where he launched from.

He liked to tell me that my ultralight plane was more dangerous than his “paramotor”. But I always rebutted by asking how safe it was not to be able to make it back to your landing area.

Your link is no good.

He is very lucky to have only been charged. I would have ordered security to shoot him out of the sky.

[mass55th]

Link to story is bad. Only has pictures of staff.

[Afterguard]

He should have been shot. Just my $.02.

Why is there no video of this event?
