President Vladimir Putin might go hang gliding with a flock of Siberian cranes as part of an event aimed at preserving the endangered species
"The pilot's role is that of the flock's leader," said Yury Markin, head of the Oka State Biosphere Nature Reserve in the Ryazan region. "They show the flight route [to the cranes]."
If Putin decides to glide with the cranes, he will wear a white coat and an artificial beak so that the birds can recognize him as one of their own, Markin said, Russian News Service radio reported. He added that such suits had been worn by the scientists who raised the cranes.

He can’t out draw the Long Ranger and Sword fight with Zorro.
That is because he ain’t no community organizer, whatever that is.

Exactly.
But I like the artificial beak.
“He once ran a marathon, because it was on his way.”
Technically, a hang glider has no motor. It appears from the article that he would be using a hang glider style wing with a trike mounted power unit.
I once hang glided in an area where there was an eagle’s nest. One of the eagles came out and was flying off my wing tip. As we we soared the ridge together... it seemed that the two of us were sharing the air in complete harmony. After I landed another hang glider pilot came over and told me that I shouldn’t have been flying in that area. He said that the day before one of the eagles had landed on top of someone’s wing and started tearing holes in it.
I'd say his narcissism has grown into a mental illness.
It is very sad that the Ruskies have a leader who could kick our “president’s butt any day of the week. One little judo chop to the throat from Putin would have Obama down for the count.

Heh, a sucker is born every minute that naively accepts Russian propaganda.
I suspect much more of a Russian Nationalist, than a Communist or even a Socialist.
