Paragliders in T2k

[kcdusk]

Airlords of the Ozarks perhaps?

I have a little difficulty with this one. How do they launch? In T2K they likely couldn't jump out of a plane. So are they jumping off a cliff to glide down? I can see the stealth angle, but they'd also be giving up the high ground.

I like that they are silent and don't use fuel. But at the moment, i can't see how they'd launch. Or be in enough numbers (say 10 for a raiding party?) to be effective.
