I think that this is pretty good treatment for our local Air Cadets......it's not too hard to figure out what this one is used for.........not used as frequently as the "older" tugs.........

This is the normal sight around here, with a Bird Dog towing a 2-33.....

I think I'd prefer the Tutor, but still looks pretty cool! I like the sort of WordArt style letters on the side haha.

That's a cheeky looking tug. First one I've seen. Nice shot.

Very nice Ken...like the livery... :)

They are still using Mountain View and they just did over the runways and added a runway.  Looks like she may be re-opened.
Air Cadets are there most of the summer gliding.

Huh- never seen a Wilga without a radial on it... still looks pretty cool, though. I see that 2-33 sports the same paint scheme that our old gal used to have... ;D
