Judy Ledden Flying with Condors - Smithsonian TV

Post by CraginS »

Smithsonian TV production, I came across this one today (4/12) on Verizon FIOS OnDemand free programs.

Former World Champion World Champion Judy Ledden and husband Chris come from UK to the cliffs of Patagonia so she can soar with condors. They bring both hang gliders and paragliders.
(Funny aside- as I am watching it now, she just admitted to being afraid of heights, just as I am.)

Judy is flying a king-posted Wills Wing glider, black and yellow sail. I missed the model, but it looks like a U2.

On Verizon, go to OnDemand ... Browse ... Free ... Info & Education ... Smithsonian ... Flying With Condors

You'll have to nose around your cable service to see if you can get to the show.

I don't know how long this show will be available. All of the free OnDemand offerings tend to rotate in and out.

I'll second that. Great show! It was a great way to show my roommates what I do and why I love it.

See you all at Big Blue Sky lecture next week!
