There was a Pawnee in bits in the hangar at Sherburn for months last year. Not sure if it's still there so I'll ask - don't think it's actually based there so it may be one of those mentioned above.

For those who have not towed with the 150 Pawnee ... don't bother .. it's not exciting ... actually it is exciting, but for all the wrong reasons.

The big brother Pawnee and the CallAir are both great fun (even if the A9's ailerons didn't do much at low speed on approach ... ) and I echo the thoughts of earlier posts.... long time ago now .. but still great memories of towing ...

best flying I ever did

235hp PA25 Hutenson Conversion

no flaps and alerons nearly down to the wing root made this a very sharp aircraft to fly (even with loads of liqud in the hopper)

sturdy too! one of the guys I was flying with grounded out while spraying, but didn't crash and still landed ok with one side of the under-carrage bungies snapped
