That's advertisement for the Polaris Gliders Manufacturer that they couldn't buy until now. "Are you seeking fun in low budget Flight? Are you seeking to fly to asylum... Well Polaris Gliders has got you covered"....

Sad that some folks can’t seem to use good judgment to keep their political views off of this platform.

What difference does it make how they arrive? They come seeking a better life.

Luckily, there were no reported incidents or injuries, and operations were able to continue as normal..
LUCKILY...
.Why, luckily? Sensationlism.idiots. The harrowing part was not knowing if they were detected and shot down by the wonderful socialistic government that is described as Utopia by woke media, Cuba..

As I read your comment, I thought you were going to say United States, not Cuba.

Who is describing Cuba as Utopia? Are you making things up for your little culture war?

It's interesting how some conservative Americans would give these guys asylum because of their perilous journey but not Cubans seeking asylum through the Mexican border after a more perilous journey.
