Natural World: Flying with Condors

Series 24, episode 7

Documentary about nature's most accomplished glider, the condor, and how a British hang gliding expedition attempted to fly with condors in the Patagonian Andes. World champion glider Judy Leden was determined to see if it was possible to study them from the air, but crashed gliders, broken bones and bad weather brought her whole mission into doubt, and fostered a new respect for South America's lord of the skies.
