Dave, you may see it as anyway you chose. but the title in the first post on the topic said "hang gliders flying in clouds."
And Ron if you lose a valuable plane like a B-52 not to mention the crew and the likely public relations fall out and possible legal trouble from running into a hang glider at high speed and low altitude without being in restricted and protected airspace and no way to identify and avoid traffic, there is going to be " hell to pay" to quote one officer to a pilot. They are not going to pat the pilot if he lives or the commander above that crew on the back and say, "tough luck, heres a promotion for you", and let's hope than none of the reporters for the major media ask what you were doing at that speed and that low in an area known to be heavy with civilian flying activity. Do you think one of the widows or parents of the crew lost on the B-52 might contact their Senator and get an investigation. Might see it on "60 minutes" or do you think it would just blow over?
Sully in the airliner into the Hudson didn't lose a single life, but they still had a heck of an inquisition to try to pin the blame on the pilots.
