gliders in movies
Has anyone compiled a list of movies in which gliders appear? I tried
googling, and it turned up some of the obvious names, such as _The Thomas Crown Affair_ and _The Boy Who Flew With Condors_, but nothing like a comprehensive listing. Johan Larson (whose interest in soaring was triggered by a brief scene in the movie _Wind_) |

I know I know, he probably meant only sailplanes, but what the hell. |

UK Smokin Vid was a DVD made by some British Juniors...it involves a mix of competition flying, ridges, wave, interviews with some of the best Junior pilots we have in Britain, and needless to say, beat-ups (hence, Smokin!) It is about half an hour long, but unfortunately they dont make it any more (sold out!) However, I am sure if you put an advert on gp.net someone would have a copy? Or maybe enough interest from the American sector would ignite a few more copies... I can honestly say it is the best DVD for gliding I have ever seen, and shows gliding at its best in Britain. Really get a feel for it, with in cockpit camera, wingtip and glider to glider. Well done to the Juniors who had the initiative to make this, and do the work necessary to create the success it is.

I knew about the movies that having gliding/sailplanes in them that
have already been mentioned (even checked out the video a couple of weeks ago!) However, I KNOW that I watched an old B&W movie with Stuart Whitman, about the glider corp before D-Day in WWII. I have been trying to find it ever since, any ideas? micki |
