The way some pilots fly tow, they have to be persistent to get my

I was once hanging out at about a 45 deg angle to the tug with half
airbrake and looking into the tug cockpit through the side window. I
held the position for about half a minute and he still refused to
turn. At that point I was high enough to release and make my own way
to the gaggle. That tug pilot was more persistant than I cared to be.
