....And you better let us know when it airs, Billy.

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.
