Mmm, take a wing runner, and then leave him behind?
Have to run real quick to catch a ride home while running wings.

Well, you could use it to reward the farmer with an airplane
ride...nice for checking out tug pilots too.

The nice thing about a towplane is you can go back and get the wingrunner...

Done it a few times when someone landed out close at a grass strip with high grass - quick tow to get the glider high enough to get home, then back to get the wingrunner.

But I wouldn't mod a Pawnee for it! That's what our Super Cub is for.
