Hi,

You mentioned Windborn below. *That is perfect for a young woman since it
shows Lucy learning how to fly gliders.

Another one to get is "The Boy Who Flew With Condors". *You can find new
copies at Amazon.com. *I wish I could get Disney to release it to the
general public - rather than their movie club. *You can see details and
screen captures from it hehttp://www.cumulus-soaring.com/video...lewWithCondors

One of my favorites is Ron Howard's "Skyward". *It is not available for rent
or purchase. *I bought a copy of questionable legality online a few years
ago. *It is a somewhat sappy but very likeable movie about a paraplegic girl
learning to fly. *There are some nice gliding scenes with Derek Piggott as
the glider pilot. *My 2 young girls like that film. *I got them to watch it
with me recently. *They said they didn't want to watch it, but once it
started they couldn't leave. *You can see details on the movie and actors

"Skyward" was produced in 1980. One of the writers and Ron Howard
collaborator, Anson Williams (Potsie from Happy Days), held a student
glider certificate in 1980.
