"Steve McQueen is shown flying a glider in the original Thomas Crown movie, didnt realize he may have actually flying it himself." He wasn't. Nor did he make the jump in the movie "The Great Escape". That was done by Bud Eakins, stunt man, motorcycle racer, and the guy who got Steve McQueen hooked on dirt bikes.
