The Boy Who Flew With Condor DVD

Hi Gang * I have just purchased and received a copy of ths DVD. Its excellent with Walt Disney himself providing some of the commentary. The story is about someone learning to fly sailplanes and almost everything shown is as pertinent now as it was back in the 60s. The condors are spectacular and a flock of several of them are shown flying together. I guess the film was made prior to the DDT problems that almost wiped them out in the 60s. A lake landing of a 1-26 is shown with no probelms, also a landing and takeoff on the beach below Torres Pines, and an interesting XC for a diamond badge in the Owens Valley in bad weather. All in all a happy interesting DVD. I would have no hesitation in recommending this DVD to a general audience or to any of my sailplane friends. Dave I vote with you, and not only that, I think Margaret Birsner is HOT! |
