Famous people in soaring

which I recall: John Denver
Christopher Reeve (Superman)
Sully (Hudson landing pilot)

Others?

Susan Oliver, who played the character "Vina" in the "Star Trek" pilot
episode, had acquired a glider rating (as well as a number of other pilot
ratings.) See:

Here's a video that appears to show her in her Aero Commander 200 that she
used to fly the Atlantic in an attempt to become the first woman to fly

Her book, if you can get a hold of a copy, is an interesting read with
plenty of material that most pilots can relate to. No glider content in it,
though.
