From a semi-reliable source:

"On September 20th, CBS's 60 MINUTES crew came out to Seminole-Lake
Gliderport, Clermont, FL. where they had scheduled bringing a "Mystery Man"
Glider Pilot for a glider flight check-out and filming. Knut Kjenslie, owner
and operator of the Gliderport found out the mystery man was Neil Armstrong.
Neil Armstrong wanted a check out to fly one of Knut's gliders. Armstrong
wanted to fly gliders so he could fly them in the filming of the segment
about his love of glider flying.

This is part of a special profile on the famous Astronaut in conjunction
with his Neil Armstrong autobiography. Mr. Armstrong was a competitive
Gliderpilot in the 1960s', before he went to the moon. This special Profile
on Neil Armstrong is set to air Sunday November 6 2005 on "60 Minutes".

The producer told Knut not to be offended but they will also have to air a
little about him not only being a gliderpilot but that he was the First man
to walk on the moon and the most famous Astronaut to date."

I don't think I would be offended if Neil Armstrong
turned up at my club whatever slant was put on it and
I suspect very few others would be.
I am just praying now that my satellite package includes
CBS news

But, if he had thermaled to the moon, that would have been something really
special.
