Default Piper PA-20 "Pacer" tow-plane/King Mountain Glider Park

This Piper PA-20 Pacer tow-plane was highly modified by its' previous
owner. It has a one-time STC that covers the 180 hp engine, variable
speed prop, Mooney motor mounts and sky-light. John Kangas spent seven
years refurbishing it. It now sports new fabric, leather interior, LED
landing lights on both wing and a video camera on the tow-hook to
monitor the glider being towed.

This video was taken at John's airfield which is named King Mountain
Glider Park and located at 5500 MSL outside of Moore, Idaho. (ID36)

I'd like to see video from the tow-hook camera!
