Hey all. About three years ago I saw a few snippets of a film without the audio. It was on the Esquire cable channel. Lee Majors. Soaring contest. Lady pilot climbs out of her 1-23 in tight dress and heels?! Cool footage of formation aerobatics. Seemed like a separate plot line involving a young man in a wheelchair. I thought tracking it down would be a piece of cake, what with IMDb &c., but no dice. Any ideas? Happy New Year & Happy Landings..

Indeed it was from "The Six Million Dollar Man" and was shown in season 4 and it was episode 8 (not 9) and it first aired on Nov 21, 1976. The storyline was as follows:

"Steve poses as a member of the US team in a sailplane meet to stop terrorists."

Good work by Frank W. in finding the video!!! I just wonder if Lee Majors was an SSA member. Wait, I think he had to be to be, in order to be in the "11th International Soaring Championship." Whew.... ;-)
