Oh...and btw....whomever was asking about the song in the intro. Don't know the name of the song off the top of my head, but the singer is Gene Cotton (from my hometown, incidentally). Was recorded for the movie, don't think he released it elsewhere.
First of all when this movie was made they were not the Christen Eagle team, they were called the Red Devils. The members were Gene Soucy, Tom Poberenzy and Charlie Hillard, they were all members of the 1972 US Aerobatic Team that won the World Championship that year. Secondly, that is not Curtis Pitts, that is an actor but they did use his shop in Afton, Wyoming for that one scene in the movie where Brad goes to visit Curtis.
The Movie Channel ran the crap out of this one (with the original English soundtrack, thankfully) back in the early '80's. It also came out on VHS about that time. I've not seen it on any other format since. Would love to find it on DVD...doubt that exists, though. Guess I'll have to be happy with my bootleg VHS copy...it's the only reason I still have a VCR.
