Have done some tugging in the Pawnee - great fun, goes up like a lift. I can well imagine that you can squeeze two into the cockpit which feels enormous. The long nose and power makes you imagine that you are flying something akin to a warbird.

How to get your hands on one? The club I tugged at used Condors but on occasions would borrow a Pawnee if busy. One day the Pawnee was in use and the owner asked if I fancied flying it. I was given a famil of the cockpit, run through of speeds and settings and off I went for a couple of circuits without a glider on the back. Converting to a single seat type is not difficult if you have a reasonable amount of experience.
