That comic is funny.

Never done a plane launch, I did a few winch launches until I went solo in a glider.
What is the benefit of plane launch? Is it just the capital saving of not buying a winch? Must be an expensive way to get a glider in the sky, though I guess you can take them up higher if there are no thermals.

Although reading that again makes it sound like I launched the glider single handedly, which I did not, my solo flight was also winch launched...
