You'll find everything else with GoogleGroups: type in the title of
the movie and the word "glider".

No mention of the tow pilot, the flights were all filmed after
mid-night.

The tow plane (Scout) came from Santa Ynez, CA. I don't remember who the tow
pilot was. Filming was done north of Los Angeles (near Magic Mtn).

Tim Joeseph, ace tow pilot at Santa Ynez for years.

Great we got that one down now how about:

1) The glider type and pilot on an episode of "Lassie"

2) The glider type and pilot on an episode of "Black Sheep Squadron"

Gotta be honest here, I know the glider types, but not the pilot
