Well you might mock, but this movie has the potential to introduce gliding to a vast 'blockbuster' audience. The protagonist describes gliding as his "second favorite pastime".

Why do I know this? My club, York Soaring Association sold the production company a Gob Twin Astir wreck, which has been used, mounted on an armature in front of a chroma screen, to double for the DG 1000 in the close-up shots.

Estrella's Jason flew the slow roll that will put to rest some of the condescending perceptions of gliding as like a winter sleigh, - towed up a hill and then passengers enjoy the ride down.

How can we capitalize on this? Offer to set up a glider in front of a theater marquee? Or at least accompany wives and girlfriends to the movie and offer a ride?

Other ideas?
