Two, in particular, are still on my mind. But, when I try to Google either one of them...nothing. It's as if these video documentaries never existed, even though I swear I remember seeing them.
One of them focuses on hang-gliding for the first half of the video. Two guys were competing for the win by doing aerial tricks. One of them does four loops in a row (I believe his name was Ron Young or something like that...and his competitor was either Rob Kelly or Rob Kells, but my memory of his name is fuzzy) and, he wins the competition.
Around the mid point, it goes to a balloon festival where many balloons take off and fly for a while to various places. After that, a daredevil pilot performs stunts on a biplane for about a minute or so. Then, the rest of the video focuses on jets, but my memory of what goes on there is very fuzzy.
The second documentary is pretty much about sky watching, weather, and the many different types of weather around the world. Most of this documentary concerns the gentle side of sky watching before it turns to a more sinister side that shows thunderstorms, flooding, hurricanes, and tornadoes for the last ten minutes or so. Both documentaries were released sometime in the 1980s or the very early 1990s.
But, Google does not show either one of them, no matter how many different search terms I put in. I know I'm not crazy because I remember watching them on VHS. Why doesn't Google show them? I can't remember the name of the hang-gliding/balloon/daredevil/jet documentary, but the weather one was, I think, Skywatching. Yet, Google doesn't have either one. Like I said, it's as if they don't even exist. That's why I'm asking anyone if they remember them. I hope someone can remember them because I'm very nostalgic thinking about these two documentaries.
Yeah I remember one I saw once which was about volcanos.
