That's wrong, anyway. Perhabs it's true for the northern countries in
Europe like Sweden and Norway.

In the soaring simulator "Silent Wings", which is produced by a Norway
team, it is standard setting that the tow plane turns right. So I think
it's true for Norway at least.

As far as I know in the Netherlands, Belgium, France turning right is
common. I think the same accounts for Germany.
