It was a very easy glide back, Mt. Hood is only about 20 miles south.

As far as my tow position, I was trying to nudge her a little closer to the mountain. *I always stay a little to the left when I want to go straight.


Ahh.. Steering the tow plane... Not many glider pilots know how that
works... And a lot less tow pilots would follow the directions and
simply mash the right rudder harder and curse the glider pilot.

Not many schools even teach it.

I thought maybe you were on that side for the camera angle.
