It's idiots like this that will probably get the best plane spotting spot in the world closed.  I could visualize the wake tossing him over the fence

It is most definitely real.

Here is a Google map of the island...zoom in on the airport...the runway butts right up to the beach! And it's a visual approach! No ILS here!

Definately real. Doubt it would be closed for this as they are not as uptight as we are and its a great tourist attraction. Great video. No better way to say what one did this summer.

That line from the paraglider looks weird, like its being dragged by the plane.
