"Dawn Flight."
There were two versions of "Dawn Flight."
The original included the pilot sleeping in the cockpit, in the hangar
overnight.
It was nominated for an Academy Award.
The shorter version had most of the flying sequences edited tightly
together.
Retire the film? If so, then make one with the exact same shots with
"modern" sailplanes.
But it is not about the sailplanes, it is about the passion of the
pilot.
It's a wonderful film.
I think I'll go watch it now, then "The Sun Ship Game" (1969),
followed by "Reunion" from the Sci-Fi TV show "One Step Beyond",
wrapping up with Disney's "Goofy's Glider" (1940.)
I could tell you much more about "Dawn Flight" and these other "OLD"
films, but why be flamed?
Ahh, the popcorn is ready. It's movie night in Marfa, Texas USA.
