The person flying the glider (not a “plane”) is a 50+ sortie student pilot who is familiar with the aircraft, the airspace, and the instructor and his skills are well known to me. The video was shot during non-critical phases of flight with no other aircraft observed or heard in the area and after due clearing turns. As to CAP? One of its missions is to promote CAP and aviation (read: draw attention to ourselves) and the camera test is for CAP promotional materials, particularly to be considered for inclusion in a CAP national recruiting video. If one is to get cadets and other excited about flying, I think you have to admit that in-flight images and video are important or essential. Many CAP wings, and CAP NHQ, include such images in CAP promotional materials. But haters gonna hate.

Who is flying the plane (Or paying attention) while you are mugging for the camera? Some of us fly for the CAP because there is a mission to accomplish and not because we wish to attract attention to ourselves. This stuff makes CAP look bad.
