best glider tug?
Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2003 10:43 pmWhich do you think is the best glider tug currently still used?
I don't know about best, the most popular are either Cessnas, or An2s.

We have a resident Piper Pawnee tug at my local airfield, (Shobdon EGBS), which tows the gliders up, to soar over the Black Mountains and Radnorshire Hills....
....!It sports the registration letters G-B TUG...lucky or what...?
LOL...!
It does an excellent job with a powerfull engine and good all-round visibility due to its high cockpit.
Cheers...

Well, I didn't know An-2s can tug, I think they are a bit too big, aren't they?
This one seems nice
I am thinking about the J-3, I wonder if it does the job well, is it still in service?

a tug-midified PZL Dromader would be really cool (1000hp radial!!!)
