Default "Boy who flew with Condors" now avaliable

I remember a one hour TV show from the late 70's early 80's about a
boy in a glider. It seemed to be a Grob Single Seat Astir. He and a
girl drove around with the glider in tow behind a red pickup, and then
she would give him an automobile launch off a desert lake bed. I
thought it was on the Sunday night Disney show. Is that title "The Sky
Trap?" Does anyone else remember such a show? Any clue what the title
was?

Also, is "Skyward" the film with the young girl in a wheel chair, and
Bette Davis is the cranky flight instructor? I think we watched that
film in School...
