Ads featuring hang gliders

I was browsing through the Sept. issue of the Washingtonian, and near the front there's a full page ad for Saks with a guy running with a hang glider. Unfortunately it's all wrong - the guy is completely upright running with both hands on the base tube, which is at about chest level. The wing would be dragging on the ground in that configuration.

Dave Bodner posted about the Saks here on 5th avenue wanting someone to set up a hang glider. I tried to volunteer but someone who works a block away snagged it. It gets set up this weekend, I guess I should go see it.

I know when doing groundhandling at oregon ridge we'd have people run with the glider. It can take off on a glide (usually over the head), then you can run with hands on the basetube lightly guiding it.
