Somebody really needs to come up with a workable trailer for airplanes. One
that doesn't need its own pilot.


Funny you should mention that. I was reading a book about DC prop
airliners over the weekend and found a reference to someone that did
something similar (except they needed the extra pilot). Apparently,
a cargo outfit purchased a couple of surplus C-47s (DC-3s) and a few
WACO CG-4A gliders. They actually received approval from the FAA to
tow the cargo-laden gliders behind the C-47s on cargo flights, just
like they did in the Normandy invasion.
