I suppose we have all had some interesting tows.
In the late 80's - although I was a reasonably experienced glider pilot - it was predominantly winch experience.
While my then GF was doing an SLMG course I started helping out on the 'proper' gliding course and eventually the course inst asked me if I wanted to do some flying -'twisted my arm' and he sent me solo after 2 dual tows (I had done some previously).
So there I am sitting in the K13 on my own when the Tuggie saunters up and asks ''Hows your thermalling on tow ''?
'I'll give it a go says I !'
Actually it was good fun....the tug of course was an 'Ahhh Condor'
Good job it was a long flat rwy LOL
