Sounds like fun! Makes me wonder if being a banner tower would be so
bad?? Hours of slow flight along the beach?


Hours of slow flight, on the verge of stall, over the same section of
beach over and over again?

I was once offered a towing job years ago. Real low budget operation
on the Jersey shore, had a couple of extremely ratty Cessna Bird Dogs
and a Stearman (which was the only reason I considered it). So low
budget that they didn't even care that I didn't have a commercial
certificate, only that I had a reputation as a good tailwheel pilot.
Turned him down as he wanted a commitment for 8 hours a day, Saturday
and Sunday, all summer long. One day a week and I might have gone for
it, but I had a life.

Couple of weeks later one of the Bird Dogs crashed while picking up a
banner from an island.
