Pretty cool glider launch

This is the kind of stuff a couple of drunk friends come up with after too many drinks.

You mean like slewing to the top of a mountain on the South Island in New Zealand with you in a Piper Cub with a dead engine and me in a default FS9 glider and then letting gravity provide enough speed to get airborne so that we could race to the airport at the bottom of the mountain when we should have been scouting out the airport as it was a required one for the Round The World Race!

This green thing is getting crazy, how many cyclists will it take to launch an Airbus?

Next time you get on one and there's pedals below each seat, you'll know!

Like I saw in one of the comments:
Next will be the entire Tour De France entry attempt to launch a 747

I'd like to see some of the cyclists in my area doing a carrier deck launch...

And if there is no seat, just the post, you are flying Ryanair!

Don't have Ryanair on this side of the pond, but I have flown JetBlue, does that count?

A quick Google search suggests 'Frontier' might a low-balling, extra fee charging, low life carrier operating on the Ryanair business plan!
