Utah takes center stage in Tuesday's edition of HBO's award-winning series “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” — in a segment that just might bring a tear to your eye.

The report, titled “Flight Club,” looks at the paragliders those of us who live here have become accustomed to seeing at the Point of the Mountain. But what's happening in Draper there is anything but common.

The segment focuses on Chris Santacroce and Project Airtime, which allows people who are paralyzed to soar — both literally and figuratively.

It's inspiring to see Thomas in the air.
