That's Incredible (1980) - "Incredible Canines" Segment

NOW AVAILABLE: World's First Hang Gliding Dog T-Shirts!! http://bit.ly/flyingdogtshirt

After a photo of Burke and Curtis re-appeared in National Enquirer, the producers of That's Incredible invited them to be on the show. Sadly, by that time Curtis was gone but, in memory of his longtime companion and co-pilot, Burke recruited Curtis' friend, fellow hang glider pilot Larry McGee's dog, Cheasie, to fill in. As a tribute to Curtis, you'll see classic footage of him flying with Burke at Torrey Pines, as well as, the newer footage of Burke flying with Cheasie. Also note: Due to the weight of the mounted camera and marginal conditions at Torrey the day of the shoot, to maximize time aloft notice how Burke "hugs" the cliff on his flight with Cheasie.
