Video clip from the Sunship Game

Here is one of my favorite video clips from "The Sunship Game"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivmJiwqlfSg

It has a good soundtrack and lots of action. I especially liked
watching all the interesting vintage 1960s cars, trailers and related
gear pulling into Marfa for the 1969 contest.

The only thing that has remained constant that clip is the Cessna.
Everything else has evolved.

I dunno. Has anybody ever built a more beautiful
sailplane than the Libelle?

Everything? I don't know, a crew woman in a bikini seems the pinnacle
of evolution to me.

Yes. LS6. But I'm biased...

Call these guys on the phone http://www.directcinema.com/index.htm,
they used to have it on VHS, but it wasn't on the web site.

If that doesn't work, I'd try Burt Compton at Marfa Gliders.

It'll be worth your while. I hope one of these days it turns up on
DVD or bluray.

The last I heard (many times over many years) is that the movie can't
be licensed because the Bee Gees sound track was never authorized.

Still, it is a very well made MOVIE, rather than simply a
documentary. A "Fine Week of Soaring" is a great documentary and I
love to watch it. But Sunship games is in a different class
altogether.

'Soaring the Saguaros' is another very good 'about soaring' production
that had some sound track issues. Good video if you can find one.
