What are your favorite aircraft types (and modifications) for glider towing in high density altitude and/or short runways?


Mark Keene once told me about towing with one of these at Uvalde making a 2000ft tow and return in under three minutes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIAI-Marchetti_SM.1019

28 variants on the US registry.
