Any towpilot who performs over 30 tows in one day is
definately due the 'Iron Butt' award. Wow! The coordination
for such a feat had to be first class, including the
time spent for refueling the towplane. You must have
refueled at least three times, maybe four. And potty
breaks?

Amazing stuff!

I did 59 tows in 1 day during the Wind Fair at Tehachapi.

Max all time for Skylark North was, I believe, 61
on the same day by Ted
Hutter.

I am awed, and weak in the knees just thinking about
it. I'd better get this
60-year old body whipped into shape for next season.

You and Ted must have had some excellent cooperation
and well organized
ground handling of the gliders to keep moving at that
rate. How many people
does an operation like that take?
