hi, yes we call it a ground return in case of the glider can't release the rope or in emmergency for exemple the canopy blow off with a bird strike and you don't know what happened at the tail or you don't know how is going to fly your glider,it will always be safer to follow the tug (always below)...
Nice high altitude shots!
Does the glider at the start land attached to the tug? Why?
