1-26 chase 1-26 movie.... where can I get it?
Hello fellow glider/sailplane pilots... many years ago I had the
opportunity to see a movie that featured two 1-26's chasing each other around the sky, down a mountain-side, thermalling, etc. I have looked for a copy of this movie a few times but have never been able to find it, save one time and the seller wanted a rather obnoxious amount of money for it. If anyone has a vhs/dvd copy they'd be interested in selling, or, in making me a copy, I'd really appreciate it. You can reach me at Thanks all! Cheers! |

For reference, the movie was called Dawn Flight, starring Denis Arndt. The aircraft were 1-26E N1134S and N17925, with N65932 used as a solo camera chase and an anonymous (probaby N2476W) 2-33 used as dual camera chase. The footage was shot on Mission Peak in Fremont CA and probably also in Vacaville and Calistoga. I think this might be the IMDB entry for it: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0072846/ See also: http://www.owp.us/Soaring-Interests.asp Good luck! Bob K. http://www.hpaircraft.com/hp-24 |

The movie is called Dawn Flight. It was filmed at Calistoga and Pope
Valley, California. I have a 16mm film copy of this movie. The leader says "Print #1"... -Bob Korves "The Stick and Rudder" wrote in message om...

This is a remarkable film.
It does the impossible: it makes flying a 1-26 look like fun. How they did this without computer graphics and supercomputers I'll never know. |
