Seattle Post Intelligencer on 14 October:

CLE ELUM, Wash. (AP) — General Motors says a glider that crashed at a
Washington state airport, killing the pilot, was involved in filming a
commercial for the automaker.

The Kittitas County sheriff's office says the glider was being towed down
the runway at an airport about 75 miles southeast of Seattle and was just
starting to lift off when it crashed Thursday. A helicopter was filming the
glider from above Cle Elum Municipal Airport.


Sad.
