| | just a side note... Regarding the gliding sequence in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) with Steve McQueen as pilot... filmed in New England. Close-ups of McQueen were filmed on the ground and a local glider pilot flew for all other footage. I'm embarrassed that I don't know the pilot's identity... he was a friend of my father (who was asked to be McQueen's double for the film, but declined). |
