I saw Operation Repo man out ranked the Daily Show in cable ratings so I looked up Oscar and found his episode. I also found it was posted here too:
http://www.hanggliding.org/viewtopic.php?t=23082

Reminds me of:
--Jeff Foxworthy, "You Might Be a Redneck..."

Jeff: "One time the bank repossesed my car because I didn't make a payment on
it for a little over a year. A man showed up at my door and said,"

"Mr. Foxworthy, if you don't give me $500, the Camaro is going with me."

Jeff: I got mad. "Five hundred dollars? Who keeps that kind of cash around?"

"You mean you can't write me a check Mr. Foxworthy?"

Jeff: "No, I can't...a CHECK? Oh, I thought you wanted MONEY. Hell, I'l
just pay the whole thing off right now."

Andy Beem... Was this real. It looks fake.

Did Oscar use his tow truck knowledge to get on that TV show.

The producers came to us for help on this. I talked them in to letting me cast the talent and I thought Oscar would be the most interesting pilot for them to try to repossess a glider from. Reality shows often have very little to do with reality.

You can be sure all events actually took place and were unscripted just as sure as you can believe in the validity of Einsteins theory of relativity.

Oscar would have gotten away except he fell for the old "young girl running after you yelling wait! wait!" trick.

Only on a reality show do huge fat people sneak around stealing cars, and getting away. Like hang gliding, it's a skinny sport. My passion for ice cream is the only thing stopping me from having a free 2011 Corvette and an HG national championship.

God, what a sell-out.
