Default 1-26 chase 1-26 movie.... where can I get it?

Hello fellow glider/sailplane pilots... many years ago I had the
opportunity to see a movie that featured two 1-26's chasing each other
around the sky, down a mountain-side, thermalling, etc. I have looked
for a copy of this movie a few times but have never been able to find
it, save one time and the seller wanted a rather obnoxious amount of
money for it.
If anyone has a vhs/dvd copy they'd be interested in selling, or, in
making me a copy, I'd really appreciate it. You can reach me at

Thanks all!
Cheers!

For reference, the movie was called Dawn Flight, starring
Denis Arndt. The aircraft were 1-26E N1134S and N17925,
with N65932 used as a solo camera chase and an anonymous
(probaby N2476W) 2-33 used as dual camera chase. The
footage was shot on Mission Peak in Fremont CA and
probably also in Vacaville and Calistoga.

I think this might be the IMDB entry for it:

Good luck!

The movie is called Dawn Flight. It was filmed at Calistoga and Pope
Valley, California. I have a 16mm film copy of this movie. The leader says
"Print #1"...

This is a remarkable film.

It does the impossible: it makes flying a 1-26 look like fun.

How they did this without computer graphics and supercomputers I'll never know.
