The Boy Who Flew With Condor DVD

[Paul Remde]

Hi,

A customer sent me some extra (unopened) copies of Disney's "The Boy Who
Flew With Condor" DVDs. I'm helping him sell them. This is a great film.
It is only available by joining the Disney movie club. I have 4 new and 1
used copy for sale. You can see details and many screen captures here:

Funny! ... No.

I put the title down wrong. It should be, "The Boy Who Flew With Condors"
(plural)

I snagged one. Can't wait to see Frank land TA in the duck pond.

Hi Gang
I have just purchased and received a copy of ths DVD. Its excellent
with Walt Disney himself providing some of the commentary. The story
is about someone learning to fly sailplanes and almost everything
shown is as pertinent now as it was back in the 60s. The condors are
spectacular and a flock of several of them are shown flying together.
I guess the film was made prior to the DDT problems that almost wiped
them out in the 60s. A lake landing of a 1-26 is shown with no
probelms, also a landing and takeoff on the beach below Torres Pines,
and an interesting XC for a diamond badge in the Owens Valley in bad
weather. All in all a happy interesting DVD. I would have no
hesitation in recommending this DVD to a general audience or to any of
my sailplane friends.

Hi Gang
I know we are all different but the comments below are almost
unbelievable. Such extremism! What is going on inside his head?

The back-to-back arrival of the National Geographic article and this
episode of The Wonderful World of Disney made it impossible for my
parents to get this crazy idea out of my then 13 yo head, but, that
was 45 years ago. If I tried to show it to my now 13 yo daughter, she
would roll her eyes, and find some excuse to leave the room ASAP.
Sorry, Dave, but in my opinion, he's right, it's a nostalgia trip for
a lot of us, but a repellant to that age range now...

I have to agree also. It was a bit painful for ME to watch and I
loved WWOD way back when.

So what we need is to get Lady Gaga involved in soaring. Maybe she
could have a costum "malfunction". That would at least bring in the
boys.

Uh, no, at least for my daughter and her minions, listening to Lady
Gaga would be one of the few things more dorky than sitting through an
old-timey flying movie...

I vote with you, and not only that, I think Margaret Birsner is HOT!
