So much odd about this ad: why did he land so long? Why did they leave the glider sitting
there? Are they going for a rope to tow it back? Who will walk the wing: the guy that landed
long, or the crew that forgot the rope? And was that really a hot, sporty car in 1969? I don't
think so!

Ad Agencies!!
Chuckle..Why would you want to diss any car comparing it with a 2-33? Well maybe a Yugo.

That may have been filmed in Sedona AZ.
If I landed and that Fox ran up to me in that new car, I'd leave too!
First stop a liquor store and then a hotel room.

Good eye, Nick. Definately looks like Sedona airport... and a fox.

I am curious what was the google search you were conducting "for a friend" when you found this, and great find!!

Girl in 1969 Rambler falls for guy in 2-33.

I'd say that's pretty much the definition of the shallow end of the gene pool.

I was actually doing some looking around for information on the Ted Nelson Hummingbird. It brought up a link to this page with "46 Motor Glider Premium Footage..." Part of the fun stuff we get to do on the board of the National Soaring Museum. All the remaining Hummingbirds are in museums now.

If you scroll around in there, you can see footage of the prototype Hummingbird. It was a two seat, side by side, retracting engine, self launching sailplane. It evolved for low rate production into a tandem seating configuration that looks similar to the later Schweizer 2-32.
