While I am sure that many of the soaring types shown in the movie<BR>&gt;
&gt; 
&gt; &gt; are the real deal, did the two teenagers (Chris Jury and
Margaret 
???)<BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; exist or were they simply Hollywood actors?
&nbsp;If 
real, did they do<BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; their own flying (the Torres
Pines 
beach takeoff especially).<BR>&gt; &gt;<BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; I found this
link that 
mentions some more about Chris Jury. &nbsp;He got<BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; his
diamond 
altitude at the age of 14 on Apr. 5 1964, &nbsp;it says.<BR>&gt; &gt; &gt;

Sadly,<BR>&gt; &gt; &gt; it also mentions he lost his life in a power
plane 
crash in the 1970s.<BR>&gt; &gt;<BR>&gt; &gt; &gt;

>&gt; 
&gt;<BR>&gt; &gt; I just received my copy of "The Boy Who Flew With 
Condors"<BR>&gt; &gt;<BR>&gt; &gt; I have another piece of "Boy Who Flew
With 
Condors" trivia from the<BR>&gt; &gt; far<BR>&gt; &gt; reaches of my
remote 
memory -<BR>&gt; &gt; Who knows the name of the flag man<BR>&gt; &gt; in
the 
winch launch scene from the Torrey Pines sequence?<BR>&gt; &gt;<BR>&gt;

Hint: He is also in this beautiful picture on the cover or
