Paraglider Incursions and Ultra-Lightweight Aircraft Discussion

NPR reports that Palestinian militants utilized paragliders and sea routes to infiltrate Israeli military camps and communities near the Gaza border. The discussion shifts to the technical feasibility of these "power parachutes" and a comparison to ultra-lightweight aircraft and auto gyros commonly seen in the Texas Hill Country and Northern California. Skepticism is expressed regarding the media's focus on paraglider footage, which some suggest looks overproduced.
