- Ear: Dell
Fun rerun: Remember Dell Schanze, who, in 2011, paraglided off the Astoria Column and into an arrest by Astoria police, after posting the stunt on YouTube? You can see him in action at tiny.cc/delljumps
Thankfully, after paying a fine, and apologizing to the city, Super Dell, as he’s known, moved on to greener airspace.
Update on his antics: He’s facing federal charges in Utah, and a potential $100,000 fine, from another 2011 incident for harassing a barn owl on his motorized paraglider, and stupidly boasting (again, on YouTube): “I kicked an owl butt.” (In One Ear, 11/14/2014)
Note: Super Dell got one year of probation for the owl incident, and had to forfeit an orange parasail. He’s been keeping a low profile, and is a paramotor super trainer at Flat Top Paramotors in Utah.
