A customer sent me some extra (unopened) copies of Disney's "The Boy Who Flew With Condor" DVDs. I'm helping him sell them. This is a great film. It is only available by joining the Disney movie club. I have 4 new and 1 used copy for sale. You can see details and many screen captures he http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/video...lewWithCondors Best Regards, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. |

Funny! ... No.
I put the title down wrong. It should be, "The Boy Who Flew With Condors" (plural) Paul Remde "Dave Nadler" wrote in message news:29338619.31.1329315887954.JavaMail.geo-discussion-forums@vbaz3...

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 |

Hi Gang
I know we are all different but the comments below are almost unbelievable. Such extremism! What is going on inside his head? Dave While this film may appeal to some of us for reasons of nostalgia, do not under any circumstances show it to a young people you want to interest in soaring. With it's stiff as a board main character and general tackiness it will send them straight into the ranks of paragliders and hang gliders, where they will be lost for a good 30 years until they are too old or too scared to run off cliffs anymore. -- gotovkotzepkoi |

If I tried to show it to my now 13 yo daughter, she would roll her eyes, and find some excuse to leave the room ASAP. Sorry, Dave, but in my opinion, he's right, it's a nostalgia trip for a lot of us, but a repellant to that age range now... Marc |

It was a bit painful for ME to watch and I loved WWOD way back when. So what we need is to get Lady Gaga involved in soaring. Maybe she could have a costum "malfunction". That would at least bring in the boys. |

Uh, no, at least for my daughter and her minions, listening to Lady Gaga would be one of the few things more dorky than sitting through an old-timey flying movie... |
