Default What ever happened to the "Wings over Sweden" project?

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH "WINGS OVER SWEDEN":

Two glider pilots took it on themselves to finance, film, cut and market a seemingly similar film called "Sveriges flygande talanger" ("Sweden's flying talents"):

Again, this is not to be confused with "Wings over Sweden". Peter and Liisa Marin financed this all by themselves and managed to sell it (at a significant loss, I heart) to Swedish television for public broadcasting.

A DVD of the film (extended 1 hour version with English subtitles) can be bought in the shop of the Swedish Soaring Federation (see link above).

The only connection this one has with Mario Hytten's "Wings over Sweden" is that Hytten tried to make the Junior pilots sign exclusive contracts with his project and threatened with litigation (as I heart).
