Here is one of my favorite video clips from "The Sunship Game"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivmJiwqlfSg It has a good soundtrack and lots of action. I especially liked watching all the interesting vintage 1960s cars, trailers and related gear pulling into Marfa for the 1969 contest. |

The only thing that has remained constant that clip is the Cessna.
Everything else has evolved. :-) |

I've never seen it. Call these guys on the phone http://www.directcinema.com/index.htm, they used to have it on VHS, but it wasn't on the web site. If that doesn't work, I'd try Burt Compton at Marfa Gliders. It'll be worth your while. I hope one of these days it turns up on DVD or bluray. -Evan Ludeman / T8 |

Yeah, but that doesn't account for the fact that the cars in the movie have evolved too. The single engine airplane (and light twin) world is still mucking with fuel mixtures, prop speeds, cowl flaps, manual waste gates, and the like. Gimme a break! Tony |
