I've always liked the glider sequence from the old version of "Thomas Crown Affair" and tonight I found it.


Just for kicks I looked up the N-number and it's still registered.
 
Well, I'm sure one of us is.
Nah, Steve McQueen was never quite my type, but Paul Newman.... :yes:

On a scary note, I always thought of Steve McQueen as being a older guy, but I just looked him up in Wikipedia and he died when he was the age I am currently. :eek:

He also apparently owned an airplane.

Wikipedia said:
Owned and flew a 1931 Pitcairn PA-8 biplane, once flown as part of the U.S. Mail Service by famed WWI ace, Eddie Rickenbacker. It was hangared at Santa Paula Airport an hour northwest of Hollywood.
 
Nice find. :yes:

They made it a little more fun in the remake (by putting them both in the plane), but the original film still rules.
As does McQueen.

I check the Speed channel from time to time to see if they're running On Any Sunday. I love that movie!
