the plot was simple but striking: *a man goes up in in sailplane.
another plane appears near him and kind of taunts him. *he takes the
challenge, and what follows is some amazng aero-batics. *they chase
each other all over the sky.*the pilot looks over at the chase
place to try to see who this other great pilot is, and he see's
himself in the other cockpit.

anyone out there remember this film? *anyone know
the name, or something that would identify it enough to show up in a
google search???
thanks!


I know that Burt Compton sometimes showed this video at the SSA booth
during Sun-N-Fun years ago. It was a really good short film that I
think won an award. I think Burt explained the film was about the
psychological aspects of soaring, fears, anxieties...
