Transcontinental

Sounds like it might be a lot of fun. I agree the RTKH turned into a trailer race, and was quite tiring due to the schedule we had to keep.

Seems that most of the legs could be between established glider tow operations especially if we followed the RTKH path. Start could be Santa Ynez with a remote start over the ocean. When we need to launch at a non-glider operation, it should be possible to arrange for a nearby tow pilot to meet us..

Dan Marotta can chime in about some safaris he's done using auto tow, which would be another option at some locales.

Assuming one can tow anytime and is qualified, all you need is good enough weather to
make the next airport. Can't be too difficult.
The hardest part may be to find sponsorship?
