Actually, I caught this as well. Took a split second to realize that these
were RC Gliders, proably 1 meter class.

There was a shot of a guy in a paraglider just before that which gave a very
good scale comparison, so it was easy to tell these were not the "real
thing."

Anyone else catch the 2 second glider video shown as part of the Buick
invitational yesterday? I didn't see the entire match, but I was
visiting relatives and caught probably the last 30-45 minutes (John
Daly was on the 17th I think when I started watching). There was a
quick glider shot of someone down along the beach in a fiberglass
glider. Anyone want to take credit for this? I was in too much shock
to look for contest numbers (and i think it was too far away to see
the N number). It was a great (but too short) clip.

I'm assuming this was someone flying out of Torrey Pines.
