Brian Dennehy took lessons back in the late 80s at Sailplane
enterprises
in Hemet, CA. Ray Stits, designer of the Stits Playboy homebuilt
and
developer of the "Stits" aircraft covering fabric system, also flew at
Hemet.

I went through previous posts and found the Steve McQueen
references where nobody could figure out who actually did the flying
for the first "Thomas Crown Affair" movie. It was Roy McMaster
flying his own yellow 1-23 who did the flying. Roy told me that he
made a total of twenty-something flights with Steve McQueen, and
that it was the start of McQueen's association with aviation. It
would be better for Roy to further elaborate on the subject himself.
