The glider club is flying today; I watch the old trainer slowly maneuver its way into the pattern.
A very nice touchdown, on the grass alongside the paved runway...
A little postflight debrief takes place, then the glider is moved with an ATV to the staging area for another tow.
Here's how it's done: This is the moment before the Citabria starts rolling. Note the guy holding the glider's wings level... this is a team sport.
The Citabria rolls at full throttle; the rope goes taut, and the glider starts rushing along behind...
...and they're off.
LMAO
