more TV pictures

Here are mo

The TV show "Cannon" with William Conrad. If I recall correctly, they
squeezed Cannon into a Caproni.

There was a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits where a glider disappears but
returns many years later being flown by a skeleton. I have tried to
find out more about this show but have not been successful. I'm sure I
didn't dream it.

Also, I was in Best Buy the other day and there was a display for the
Sony HD handicam that had glider footage showing the improved image of
HD. This is a great way to get exposure for the sport.

Two more TV programs with gliders in them:

The video "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"...

A 2-33 and a 2-32; not what I would choose for looks. Interestingly,
the 2-32 is still registered thirty years later.

Thanks so much. I know some SF geeks so hardcore they'll get borged
before they get laid. ;-) I'll forward this to them, and see what they
say.

Clever.

Could it have been a show named "One Step Beyond" ? It has an episode
titled "Reunion" with this description on TV.com: "German glider
enthusiasts plan to meet the first weekend after WWII ends."

That's got to be it. No wonder I couldn't find anything on the net
about it -- I was looking at the wrong shows. One Step Beyond is
available on DVD so if anyone has seen it, they can confirm. Or I'll
have to buy the DVD myself -- it's a great episode!

Folks, it was a long time ago, 1962, I doubled for Lassie and flew a
2-32 at Agua Dulce, then later a 1-26 for Lassie over the San Andreas
fault. A commercial for a Ford in
1972 was done at Lake Elsinore. It had advertisements in National
Geographic.That stuff along with so many others already mentioned fuled
a really big growth in soaring.. I flew with Wm. Conrad in a 2-32.
Heavy wing loading and fast! With the very pretty ships that exist now,
maybe something anew could start.

Were there two episodes of Lassie with gliders? I only know of one:

"Reunion" from "One Step Beyond" TV show - a cool 30 min. episode
featuring a Frankfort Cinema glider. Probably filmed near Los Angeles.


A popular film during my "Soaring Movie Night" at our Marfa Soaring
Camps last year.

Don't forget "Goofy's Glider" (1940) - the first of the Disney
cartoons, where Goofy learns to fly, golf, play baseball, etc. Color.
10 min. Cartoon, but well researched - good narration.
"Count to 10 - Pull string" is the lesson on using a parachute. A
"must have" among us soaring media collectors. Available on DVD as a
segment from the "Goofy" Disney compilation.

How did you get a copy? There are several DVD compilations of that
show, but I couldn't find one that included that episode.

I found "Reunion" pre-DVD era on a videotape compilation of "One Step
Beyond" episodes.

Sorry for thinking it was available on DVD - it showed up in a Google
listing for amazon.com but it turned out to be only a reference to the
show by someone making a comment. I found Reunion, OSB vol. 23, on VHS
