Cool Target Towing

Lears and Westwinds kitted out for target towing, Aussie company contacted for it now is Pelair. The requirements for the flight crew is fast jet time as the ops are quite unusual for civvy spec aircraft and the quals are to meet CAA requirements. The boys are cleared to 50' or thereabouts and fly all sorts of profiles including simulated missile profiles like the Harpoon etc. for the navy contracts and target tow for the Navy and the Air Force.

Cool concept going on a mission with the boys, sitting back in the cabin in the big comfy leather chair at 50', 300 snots, eating Minties and watching the bow of a frigate blur past your window! That was after the Kiwi A4's had already smoked the ship of course.........

So unfortunately BBD, noflow wasn't seeing things.
