Een video uit een tijd van ver voor de GoPro's!! (1996) Heb ik zelf als VHS videoband nog in de kast staan.

This is the story of a family whose great passion in life is to soar like the birds, to glide in the great invisible force of nature - the wind. We follow Lucy Wills, a third generation member of this family of dedicated aviators in her quest to understand the mysteries of flight.

When Lucy finally goes solo, the drama and tension are palpable.
The tension mounts when Father, Gavin Wills and cousin Justin Wills take Lucy on a cross country flight, never attempted before. The journey begins at New Zealand's highest peak, Mount Cook. After soaring over its summit they glide south over lakes and valleys, soaring through the beauty and grandeur that are the Southern Alps, towards forbidden territory for gliders - Fiordland.

It is a journey of high adventure and great beauty. It is a journey guaranteed to make us all wish we were Wind Born.

Lucy Wills, een van de hoofdrolspeelsters van deze video, is op 6 maart 2004 overleden. Ze was toen 28 jaar.

March 7 2004: Lucy Wills Has Died. This sad news comes to us from Tom Knauff who said Lucy, Gavin’s daughter who was the star of two gliding videos made in her native New Zealand, died yesterday at the age of 28 after a six year battle against cancer. As Tom says “Although Lucy has left us we will continue to see a young Lucy for the next 15 to 20 years in the videos”. We send our deepest sympathy to Gavin and the rest of her family.
