Default Google Glass news of interest to pilots and soaring app developers

Interested to read more about this and see the video, however
neither of the links seem to be working?

Cheers

Google is accepting proposals for the privilege to buy a Glass

If you get some good soaring footage with the Glass, it might be

Secondly, Google is making Glass available to "App Developers"
