Google searching for something else, and stumbled on to this 1969 ad.

Flame Suit on!!

So much odd about this ad: why did he land so long? Why did they leave the glider sitting
there? Are they going for a rope to tow it back? Who will walk the wing: the guy that landed
long, or the crew that forgot the rope? And was that really a hot, sporty car in 1969? I don't
think so!
