Here we again in Immokalee Florida performing an aero tow launch using a Cessna 182 as the tow plane with my good friend Ted as the tow pilot. My beautiful wife Linda and I are in the Schweizer 2-33 sailplane, with Linda in the front seat holding the camera and myself in the rear seat flying the sailplane.

  • Interesting stuff. I'm watching this as a brand new soaring pilot whose home club only utilizes the winch launch method (due to noise-sensitive neighbors). Nice to learn a bit of theory prior to being trained for this IRL at another club. :o)

  • We do ground tow as well, but we haven't reached above 1200 feet yet. Still practicing.
