A really great interview. It's refreshing to see someone like Nicolas Cage get educated on what modern Hang Gliding is all about and want to do it. Scroll to the 3:21 mark where they start talking about hang gliding (for almost 5 minutes!)

A few of my favourite lines:

• "You are Icarus, it's probably the most beautiful thing a man can do..."
• "That guy is the coolest guy I have ever seen in my life" (referring to a hang glider pilot he saw when he was a kid)
• "And you know you are going meet the coolest people on Earth. They are going to say "hey are you going to go flying today? Let's go flying.""
• "To hang glide...to soar...to be like an eagle...to be Icarus...to me is just, just beautiful."
