    They were going across the sea from Denmark to Sweden in a glider. I thought well that's cool and ballsy. Until they popped out their motor. It's kind of like going to a bar and picking up someone of the opposite sex then finding out otherwise when the

    I truly despise those 360 degree cameras. Why couldn't they write their manipulation software so that the tow plane does not look like he's
