You jaded purveyors of motorless flight should view this video with less than your normal gimlet eye. The video was made for the unwashed masses of those who are engine dependent with the idea of at least rousing their curiosity. Granted the vertically challenged guy with the goatee and the bullet shaped head may not have been the best person to get the word out about gliding flight, but he did send the message and for that we should give him credit.
There has not really been much in the way glider related movies out since "The Boy Who Flew With The Condors" (the Thomas Crown Affairs and perhaps a few car commercials.) But wait dear hearts, there is something in the wings (pun intended) which will air as a trailer of sorts at the SSA convention and presented by Mike Abernathy. It is hoped Mike's film will be out sometime this spring and will be shown on at least the local PBS station in Albuquerque and will awaken the world to the wonders of motorless flight.
