Ah, finally the value of the sleek Slingsby T21 "Rhone-Moose" will go up.

Why you bad mout' dat drag queen? Ever towed one?

I seem to recall Dean Carswell asking me to keep it over the airport and not
go above 50 mph. The old Bird Dog was shaking like a (pardon the
expression) wet dog throughout the tow. Dean's T21 is now in the musuem at
Moriarty.

Or we could remove the engines from a PBY-5a Catalina and turn the pontoons up to get (nearly) the same effect.
