Bill Bartell, sold the glider to the production company, and then flew it. I
don't recall the glider model.

You'll find everything else with GoogleGroups: type in the title of
the movie and the word "glider".

No mention of the tow pilot, the flights were all filmed after
mid-night.

The tow plane (Scout) came from Santa Ynez, CA. I don't remember who the tow
pilot was. Filming was done north of Los Angeles (near Magic Mtn).

Great we got that one down now how about:

1) The glider type and pilot on an episode of "Lassie"

2) The glider type and pilot on an episode of "Black Sheep Squadron"

Gotta be honest here, I know the glider types, but not the pilot

There also was a Blanik L13 in an episode of Dukes of Hazard.

What was a glider doing in Black Sheep?
