Q: I believe that on The Wonderful World of Disney (back in the 1980s), there was a movie where two boys find a biplane in a barn at an auction, an older gentleman teaches them to fly, and they take off into to the skies. Can you tell me the name of the movie and if it is available anywhere?

A: You may be thinking of the three-hour television movie Sky High (1990), starring Damon Martin, Anthony Rapp, and James Whitmore. There was a similar 1975 TV show entitled The Sky’s the Limit, about a boy and his grandfather fixing up and flying an ancient airplane. The grandfather and grandson were played by Pat O’Brien and Ike Eisenmann.
