Number of aero tows in 2011

Interim report with 33% of clubs and 25% of commercial operation reporting:

Using questionable statistical methods to project a total which assumes those yet to report will have figures similar to those actually reported, the total aero tows for 2011 in the US would be in the ballpark of 150,000 tows.. However, the larger, more active organizations may have reported first so the real total could still be near 100,000.

Please keep those reports coming.
