Identifying the other guy
At a regional contest in the U.S. this past spring, we had a bit of
"entertainment" on the radio. The launch was underway, with about
four Pawnee's, one Cezzna Agtruck (Agwagon?), and one Cezzna 175, all
towing up about 50 gliders.
Over the radio:
"Towplane, speed up!"
Response:
"Which Towplane?"
Glider Guider:
"The Pawnee!"
Response:
"Which Pawnee?"
And then, I was laughing so hard, I couldn't concentrate on flying my
own glider. But the play continued.
"What color Pawnee?"
Glider Guider:
"White"
Response:
"Which white Pawnee? What color stripes?"
Glider Guider:
"I can't tell"
I guess he finally got off tow. I don't know if they ever figured out
which Pawnee needed more speed.
