Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Towering achievement: Hang-glider pilot Michael Robertson banks his aircraft around the CN Tower after he and fellow pilot Mark Bourbonnaise took off on their historic flight. The launch entered aviation record books as the highest takeoff ever from a man-made structure. Robertson, who owns a local hang-gliding school, said the flight was the fulfilment of a dream. I've wanted to fly off the tower ever since it was built, Robertson said.
