If it had been a threat, the snipers would have taken them out.
Via The Sun:
They were lucky not to be shot out the sky as the President’s elite snipers aimed their guns at the aerial threat from the roof above.
The paraglider flew three miles across the Ayrshire countryside at 9.30pm – minutes after Trump arrived at the course.
They then circled the lawn in front of the Turnberry hotel where the US President is staying for the weekend.
A Greenpeace spokesman said police had been informed of the protest ten minutes prior to it being launched.
Greenpeace also claim they contacted Prestwick air traffic control by telephone and radio to inform them about the paraglider’s arrival.
But officers say it was an offence and are seeking the pilot.
Police Scotland’s Assistant Mark Williams said: “We are aware a powered parachute was flown in close proximity of the Turnberry Hotel earlier this evening.
“It is a criminal offence to fly within the airspace restriction zone and officers are carrying out enquiries to trace the pilot.”
