Aero Towing 9 L13 Blaniks, simultaneously

[Tomo]

This is brilliant! What a tug

 

 

 

[Bandit12]

Wow - that climb rate would have been in inches per second, not feet per second!

 

 

[David Isaac]

WOW ... WOW.

 

What a fantastic and risky stunt. That would hve taken some real calculation, planning skill. Imagine the turbulence from that turbine up front and trying to keep the glider tow ropes separated. I would have thouight it could have got real ugly real quick is something went wrong.

 

Imagine tryong to get approval to pull that off here ...LOL

 

Great music too.

tug pilots are a special breed

Now there is no point in trying to better that in the Pawnee Tomo!!

 

 

[David Isaac]

Yeh Tomo, you would need a Kero burner in the Pawnee and 3,000 metres of runway ... LOL

You're to kind!

An 802 Airtractor could handle it I reckon...

 

 

 

[David Isaac]

You would about need 1500 metres to get the suckers airborne and sitting stable before you rotated by the look of it. I don't think the power is the real issue; more like lots of bitumen Tomo ... but it would be real hoot wouldn't it.

 

 

[Exadios]

Wow, 9 Blaniks with wings still attached! Who knew.

 

What the proceedure was in the event of an engine failure would have been I cannot guess.

 

 

[David Isaac]

I reckon we could guess what the outcome would be though ... 9 Blanicks with missing wings ... unless that bloke in the turbine could pedal fast

 

 

[Guernsey]

Wow, a tug must be very expensive over there if you have to share the cost with eight other people.
