Maybe someone with the talent will make a mashup with this added on to the end


That was actually discussed in the SLSA clubhouse when this whole thing first started to develop. Another suggestion was to have the pilot take along a monkey mask and put it on after takeoff, so it would be captured by the helicopter inflight...

Another idea was to have one of our "larger" pilots dress up in a Bigfoot suit and run around in the woods where the glider could "find" him. Unfortunately, the "volunteer" wasn't so keen on the idea...

Yes, adult beverages were involved...
