It might interest some that a key connection that led to the Disney doing
"Boy Who flew With Condors" was Bob Gurr. IIRC, Bob was president of the
Orange County Soaring Association at the time. I think he still owns and
flies a Taifun 17E.

Bob Gurr was very close to Walt Disney and served as his "Chief Imagineer"
who designed almost all the rides at Disneyland. Google "Bob Gurr - Disney"
for some facinating background on Bob.
