Chinese living and studying in San Francisco welcome the Olympic torch.

But cheering along the streets is not enough. Some of the local Chinese rent a plane and display their banner in the sky, right above the relay route.

The man who organized this is a local Chinese and also an amateur hang-glider.

He leads a low-key and simple life and doesn't want to reveal his real name.
