I have had a continous subscription to RD since 1970 and read them cover

wonder if RD puts old issues on the web; I'll have to check.

They will send you a copy if requested. You can also find the complete
story in "Everyday Greatness" by Stephen R. Covey. I believe that is
available through Amazon.

One of the greatest stories that give a semblance of what it is to fly
is Jonathan Livingstone Seagull.
The seeking of perfection

A good friend of ours, Art Scholl, did some of the photography for JLS.
He filmed gulls by standing in the back of a rowboat holding up some
bait for the birds. They came in and literally hovered there eating out
of his hand while they were being filmed. Then the film was slowed down
and used in the movie in slow motion.
A simple technique, but some great shots by Art.
I loved the film. In fact, my wife and I were probably one of the first
to see it in a special showing Art did for us and the Thunderbirds in a
back room at the Reading Air Show.
A wonderful show....and a GREAT music score!!!
