Default Father's Day Dawn Winch Launch at Spartanburg

A nice video from one of our club members doccumenting their dawn
winch Launch from Spartanburg. Much better than the day I spent in
airport terminals waiting on Delta to get me home.

Thanks for sharing. Very well edited and put together. Time to
get that ground launch endorsement for this pilot. That looks way too
fun.

Note the fairlead shown early in the video. That's the design for
which we provide free drawings. Very spectra friendly.

Brings back some memories. I soloed there, auto-tow, in '96 through an
exploratory CAP glider encampment. Are Derek Johnson or Dave Treinis
(sp) still in the local area?
