"Boy who flew with Condors" now avaliable
Hi Alex,
Thanks for posting that! I've been looking for that for years. Fortunately I have 3 young kids, so joining the Disney Movie Club is not a big deal for me. After I get my copy and if the quality is good, maybe I'll have to buy a batch to sell from my web site. Good Soaring, Paul Remde wrote in message ...

"Boy who flew with Condors" now avaliable
Hi,
I just couldn't resist - after joining the Disney Movie Club I bought a batch of the film for sale on my web site. I charge a bit more, but you don't have to join the Disney Movie Club to buy it from my store. I expect them to arrive in a week or 2. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/video...lewWithCondors Good Soaring, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com "Paul Remde" wrote in message news:5AZ5k.158768$TT4.21333@attbi_s22...

I just couldn't resist - after joining the Disney Movie Club I bought a
batch of the film for sale on my web site... Wonderful. Did you see any sign of any other Disney titles with gliders in them, of which I think the only ones may be "Goofy's Glider" (1940) and The Sky Trap (1979, WWOW TV, s/ Jim Hutton). --JHC P.S. I thought "Wind", "Ron Howard's Skyward", and "Nancy Drew mysteries" were Disney productions, but I think not. |

"Boy who flew with Condors" now avaliable
Hi John,
I just did a search on all the titles below and they were not found on the Disney Video Club site. A few years ago I bought a DVD copy of Skyward from a source that did not appear reputable. It was obviously a copy from a video made using home equipment and no case, etc. It was of pretty good quality though. It's a sappy movie, but I like all the glider and biplane scenes. You can see Derek Piggott as the glider instructor if you look closely. Paul Remde "John H. Campbell" jhpc@greeleynet-dot-com wrote in message ...

"Boy who flew with Condors" now avaliable
I remember a one hour TV show from the late 70's early 80's about a
boy in a glider. It seemed to be a Grob Single Seat Astir. He and a girl drove around with the glider in tow behind a red pickup, and then she would give him an automobile launch off a desert lake bed. I thought it was on the Sunday night Disney show. Is that title "The Sky Trap?" Does anyone else remember such a show? Any clue what the title was? Also, is "Skyward" the film with the young girl in a wheel chair, and Bette Davis is the cranky flight instructor? I think we watched that film in School... -Kevin |

"Boy who flew with Condors" now avaliable
Hi Kevin,
I don't know anything about "The Sky Trap", but a Google search found: http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/1290...-Trap/overview "In this suspenseful drama an adolescent glider pilot and his assistant are falsely accused of smuggling drugs by the Hawk's evil henchman. Naturally it is the enigmatic Hawk who is behind it all. " http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348049/plotsummary "Plane crash. A cargo of illegal narcotics. And the mysterious disappearance of an infamous drug smuggler called "The Hawk." The stage is set for a dangerous cat and mouse game as young Grant Stone (Marc McClure) stumbles into "The Hawk's" domain. Grant and his girlfriend (Kitty Ruth) become the targets of a pair of bloodthirsty smugglers on the ground... and in the sky where "The Hawk" is ready to swoop!" Skyward by Ron Howard is the one you mentioned below. It is mainly about a teenage girl in a wheelchair learning to fly in a Christen Eagle (not recommended for new pilots...) and has a few scenes showing gliders. She is drawn to the airport by a pair of Schweizer 2-32s flying in formation and landing at the local airport. She later gets a ride in one of them. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081526/plotsummary "An aging Bette Davis is a flight instructor at an old Texas airport. When a young girl in a wheelchair finds the airport by watching gliders fly, she decides she wants to learn how to fly. Davis teaches her to fly with some special controls compensating for her handicap. Howard Hessman is a aircraft repair service trying desperately to get an old airplane back in the air. The three, together, put the young girl and the old plane up in the air." I have Skyward on a copyable DVD... I think. It's not a perfect copy though. Paul Remde "KevinFinke" wrote in message ...
