That Glider Pilot

 Lot of chatter going on this morning over the Germany-France soccer game in Munich last night.  About the loss to the Germans?  Well....to some degree, but this episode with the motorized hang-glider guy is getting a fair amount of interest.

What Bavarian police say this morning is that they are reading through the Criminal Code and even the Federal Aviation Act, and this glider guy (from Baden-Württemberg) is probably going to face both state and federal charges.

Update: It's now been brought up that prior to the game, a flight ban was imposed around the arena....so this 'pilot' violated that, and on federal charges....this could get pretty messy.  He could be looking at several years in prison.
